UI: Show what version is being run

[exitus1]

People upgrading are asking how to know if they upgraded. Would be nice to have the version # somewhere in settings.

For additional context,

we have Build ID (in settings) already, but it would also be nice to additionally have a "release version" (in case a commit corresponds to official release) - since it removes 1 additional step of linking Build ID to release manually.

About could show:

1. BisonW Version v1.x.x (Always)
2. Git commit (if available - depends on the build process) OR module version
3. Maybe copyright?

Looks good. Maybe call it "Version" instead of About?

[dev-warrior777]

Can, but then I would just put the version at the bottom of the settings dialog. The build ID is problematic as it may not be available or may be incorrect as can be seen by the long conversation in the dex-dev channel with jrick/davec.

Ok, first I will look at making sure we have at least the version at the bottom of the Settings dialog and no separate About dialog .. which is very overkill just for Version. Then if there is a valid git commit (based on what the go code says) .. put that underneath.

Then users can just hit the settings link to get the version info.

Build ID is a sort of version, just a different one. I think what @exitus1 suggests is a cleaner way to go about it, but given both version and trimmed-commit are short enough it might be possible to just combine them together into something like v1.0.2 (1fd2fce) to put at the bottom of the settings dropdown menu.

@dev-warrior777 while you are modifying this dropdown menu do you think you could also address these ?

• "Market Making" tab in there seems to be redundant since "MM bot" button (see screenshot below) seems to already lead user to market-making page
• "order history" tab should probably be more visible, I'd suggest to move it out of this dropdown menu and put it in between "MM bot" and "Notifications" section (on screenshot below) ?

I will not be changing the drop-down .. rather arranging for app.Version to be visible in the Settings dialog underneath the Redeem game code div/section. With or without the problematic Build ID. Build Id is often useless when grabbed from golang embedded module info.

I can look at the dropdown issues but not on the PR coming out of this.

@martonp might look at Market Making link versus Market Making robot icon click. You may be right and we do not need it now.

Did you read @jrick 's helpful comments in dex-dev channel?

Most of it, why ? If you mean we can't always have the version available - I guess just set it to unknown as fallback, but that's probably a rare case to hit in practice (most users will use pre-built binary, and obviously the one releasing those binaries should build it such that both version and commit is available).

We can show the actual build always I think. PR later today.

Yes .. both go to host/mm .. maybe one can be removed .. let's see what @martonp wants to do

Workaround for now if the person is comfortable with console/command prompt/dos box then find the executable such as bisonw.exe, bisonw .. open a command prompt and:

• C: bisonw.exe --version
• $ ./bisonw --version

Should show bisonw version 1.0.2+release.local (Go version go1.23.0 linux/amd64) with latest release
