Question: where in all of squirrelcart is the version number of squirrelcart displayed that is running? If Not visible, why not put it in the admin tool bar way over on the right? It should be a variable in the code.

Hi Denny,

We actually where going to implement this in v1.0.6, but ran into a snag. The way it will be implemented is as follows:
The version you are running will display on the menu bar. To the right of the version number, will be a small colored circle indicating the status of your version. Green means your version is current. Yellow means it is behind a minor version, and red means it is behind by a major version.
The way the function works is by reading a file at squirrelcart.com that contains the latest version available. We had it working fine in the beta of 1.0.6 for weeks.

When we where preparing 1.0.6 for distribution, we ran into a problem with the admin page loading extremely slowly, and narrowed it down to the function that was implementing this version feature. We therefore left it out of 1.0.6 until we could determine what was causing the problem.

It turns out that the problem was due to a problem with our web server, which caused it to not be able to perform a fopen() on a remote file. Now that we have determined that the problem was server specific, we will be including this in 1.0.7.
