Quickest way to find out which EPiServer version you are running on a site


Are there any other places except for episerver.config where you can find out which version ("EPiServer 6" / "EPiServer 6 R2") of EPiServer the site was built on?

Usually I look in episerver.config and compare those numbers to the ones in Deployment Center to find out if it's "EPiServer 6" or "EPiServer 6 R2".

I have only been working with EPiServer 6 and EPiServer 6 R2 so those versions are the most relevant to the question.

Edit: Updated the two first paragraphs with what I mean by the word version.


Solution

  • As other have stated, the plugin manager in admin mode, or simply looking at the title of the editor/admin mode browser window shows you the version.

    Also, here is a list of version numbers and their corresponding release "Name": http://epiwiki.se/configuration/episerver-version-nummber-vs-release-number

    EPiServer version number vs release number (taken from the assembly EPiServer.dll)

    • 7.0.586.4 - EPiServer 7 - Patch 1
    • 7.0.859.4 - EPiServer Framwork
    • 7.0.586.1 - EPiServer 7
    • 1.1.1239.0 - EPiServer Shared
    • 7.0.859.1 - EPiServer Framwork
    • 7.0.1764.1 - EPiServer Search
    • 7.0.499.1 - EPiServer 7 Preview
    • 6.1.379.5xx - EPiServer CMS 6 R2 (with diferent versions of general hotfix)
    • 6.1.379.1 - EPiServer CMS 6 R2
    • 6.0.530.0 - EPiServer CMS 6
    • 5.2.375.236 - EPIServer CMS 5 R2 SP2
    • 5.2.375.133 - EPiServer CMS 5 R2 SP1
    • 5.2.375.7 - EPiServer CMS 5 R2

    • 5.1.422.256 - EPiServer CMS 5 SP2
    • 5.1.422.122 - EPiServer CMS 5 SP1
    • 5.1.422.4 - EPiServer CMS 5
    • 4.62.0.469 - EPiServer CMS 4.62B

    The version numbers are built with the following pattern:

    Major.release.buildnumber.days

    Where:

    Major - is the major version that probably has breaking changes to a previous version

    Release – the release number should not include breaking changes

    Buildnumber – the build number

    Days – days after the build number was generated
