No, it's always been there, visible on wiki diff pages (maybe in some 
other places as well, that's the only one which comes to mind).

Rupert probably forgot that he already filed a ticket for this a year 
ago ;-)
 http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6572

I'm ok with the proposal made in that ticket, we could hide the address 
completely or make it visible only if some permissions are available 
(EMAIL_VIEW ?) if someone thinks it's actually useful to see those ip 
numbers in clear.

However the warning  "please log in otherwise we'll expose your ip-
address" wouldn't work for us, as it's not always possible to log in 
into Trac sites (e.g. edgewall.org Tracs).
