You could always comparing the metadata of different stable releases to try determine the age of these. I remember discussing this with pixel a few years ago, but it wasn't really an important issue and never given any priority, but implementing automated tests for this in ie. the youri(-related) tools would probably be a good idea. :) -- Regards, Per Øyvind
