Re: MetadataVersion to be shown in the "About" section

 

Hi Lars

For the starters, there is a setting which needs to be enabled for Metadata
versioning (also highlighted in the first email that I sent). So, only if
this setting is enabled and there are actual versions in your DB (there is
a separate relation called "metadataversion" for the same) will a normal
user see this in the About section.

So, if some instance has enabled versioning they will see the version
information otherwise not.

Regards
Vanya
