A normal attack will be done by scripts which test *every known exploit* of 
every version. Security by obscurity is not a solution.

If someone looks for new specific exploits, he try first on a local 
installation. 
- Of course, here it's a little dangerous, that the version number is in the 
copyright notice in the html-source of the frontend.

But the the oxchkversion should be deleted after update.

Yes, this will be more nice... possible with a sync to a ssl oxid server.... 
and a list of all changes by status (feature, securty, etc.) in the admin 
will be nice, too.
