I downloaded 3.8.0 RC2 from the members area, and when I opened config.php I saw no license number! This is what I see:

But it's always been in the config.php before, right up to RC1. Is this something new that I somehow missed?

Just a guess, maybe it has ben removed from config.php so that users do not need to overwrite it with every upgrade release just because of maintaining versions.

It must have been removed from "Suspect File Version" checks so version is not a problem for it.

Suspect files never checked the config.php file anyway because there was no way to make an MD5 hash for it when you download.

It was removed because people would upload config.php.new which can expose license information as it wouldn't be parsed by the server.

Ah, good to know it was intentional. And yes, I'm one of the guilty ones for uploading config.php.new. :rolleyes: I don't use it of course, I just never think to remove it before or after everything goes to the server. :o
