Webend Version inline with Github-release Version

[C9Glax]

Currently the Webend displays the text

Vaultwarden Web
Version 2024.6.2 

With the recent fixes for the CVEs I got quite the scare, as June is way before the time out the released fixes, just to find that this text is not aligned with any Version/Release on Github for Vaultwarden, and I was in fact running a fixed version. 😌

What I would like to see is a additional line which displays the Version of Vaultwarden currently running, so something like

Vaultwarden Web
Version 2024.6.2
Release 1.32.6

No. This will not happen.
Some people do not want to show any version at all, so adding an extra will not be that useful.

You can use the Vaultwarden Backend Admin Interface to view all this.

Then go a step further and add a check if there is a new "latest" tag with version. Make it flashy.

The admin page already tells you if there are newer versions.

Huh, didn't know that.
Point taken.

Still only look at the admin Panel maybe once a year, so might still be worth considering.

The point is, we will never make everybody happy.
Still the /api/config endpoint will at least provide the git hash, and hackers can use that.
There is also the /api/version endpoint which everybody can access. So basically if someone really wants, they could still see it relatively easy.

That will still not make you notice there is an update available if we only put the version on the web-vault main page.
With the Dynamic CSS we have implemented it makes it a bit possible now to do this. But not if there is an update available.

I did have some thoughts about this though, ill see if i can work those out a bit more.
