Because of the many build isn't it possible to put the version or build number on the logon page. Users can than report bugs and telling on wich version is happens.

Is there a $version variable or $build_number ??

Add: <roundcube:object name="version" />

on line 46 (before last /div) in login.html in /skins/default/templates

... or to make it more fancy ( but then one needs to add a config parameter)

<roundcube:if condition="config:login_show_version == true" />

<roundcube:object name="version" />

<roundcube:endif />

Warning:

In the past, we've seen scripts which use Google to scan for vulnerable software based on their name and version. For example, there are automated scripts which use Google to scan for phpBB forums that use specific versions which are known to have remote exploits.

It may not be a good idea to add the version number in the login screen, since that would make it easy for someone to search for "RoundCube X.Y.Z login" in Google to search for vulnerable versions.

If the login page doesn't show the version, then a script would have to test every single installation manually.

Review in 0.1.5 - maybe add as config option (or set a config option that enables account for testing?)
