"In earlier versions of Moodle, the version number was sometimes available (depending upon the theme used) by hovering over the Moodle logo on the front page. This functionality was removed in Moodle 1.9.7 onwards for security reasons."

This is a pity, that info was really useful and the question "how can I know which moodle version is used on my moodle site" is regularly being asked on the Moodle forums.

Please keep in mind that not all Moodle users are admins on their site so these users have neither access to the notifications page nor, of course to the Version.php file.

I am really surprised that the mere display of the moodle version on a moodle site's home page should be a security issue.
