Since a few changes back and with the new Admin Dashboard it became increasingly hard to find the actual Version/Release number of my Discourse installation. It only shows commit hashes and “esr” as a tag, but not the actual version number. It is only briefly shown in the “update required” message. But after that - unfortunatelly I did the update and now want to document the new version - it isnt shown anymore?

BTW: there is no `update` tag here, either.

Note: the sections on the admin dashboard can also be reordered with the “Configure” menu at the top.

Hm, there is no such section in my (default) (new) Dashboard. But I am sure i havent hidden it, so it get lost while going to the new Dashboard layout..

I also dont find the config to enable it:
