the v 2.24.1 web2py directory contained a simple text file called "VERSION" with the text "Version 2.24.1-stable+timestamp.2023.03.23.05.07.17"
My application (and I'm sure others') looks for that file as part of its display of versions of various components as outlined above
I don't see the coresponding file in the v 3.0.x directory tree.
Very trivial, I know, but I assume an unintended omission?
