Obvious version information for extracted Tor Browser

Description

Assuming I have an unpacked tbb tree, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to learn its version. Maybe there should be a VERSION file next to the start-tor-browser script?

Emphasis is on obvious -- I now know the information is hidden away in Docs/sources/versions.

about:tor shows the version (but of course you have to start the browser to access it).

weasel, can you provide the motivation here? Is the hope to have some other automated thing read this file? Which automated thing?

comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by weasel

I didn't think of automated things. I, personally, want to know which version an unpacked tree is from.

Does Browser/TorBrowser/Docs/ChangeLog.txt do it for you?

comment:10 Changed 6 years ago by weasel

That really fails the obvious part. How would I ever find that if I didn't know where to look exactly?
