Thanks for the info Dougal,

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Once activated there's no change in the WP 3.0 admin footer. No extra line in the admin footer that indicates the revision number and path (as it says in the description). I tried deactivating my plugins in case one was interfering but no difference.

Perhaps it's a problem for those using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin to keep updated rather than the more traditional SVN approach?

Either way it's hardly a testing showstopper. I was just wondering whether it was possible for the devs to add the revision number back into the admin footer like it was "back when".

Cheers

convenient to the nightly build revision number really helped when a
tester was checking out new changes and tracking down bugs. At least
it was for me.

Is there any chance that this small feature of the nightly builds
could be returned? It would be great to be able to glance down at the
admin footer and see the build's revision number there.


I get that from this plugin:
