feature request: the CodiMD "help" panel should list version of the deployed CodiMD instance and its dependencies

I am trying to report an issue to the administrators of the CodiMD instance that I am using. Something does not work properly on their instance, while it does work on other instances. I suspect that the difference can be explained by a different in CodiMD versions or one of its dependencies, but it is surprisingly difficult for a user to tell, from a running instance, which versions are being used.

Suggested fix: the "help" menu should list the version of CodiMD that is running, as well as its main dependencies (javascript frameworks, MathJax, etc.). (In my case the problem is related to syntactic highlighting of code blocks, and I suspect that the CodiMD versions themselves are the same, but it may be the highlight.js versions that differ).

(Listing the dependencies, their authors, versions and licenses may also be necessary to comply to the open-source license terms of some of your dependencies. It is generally a good practice for end-user applications.)

Hi @gasche, thanks for reaching us.
The easiest way at the moment to know the current running version is by looking at the release note of that instace.
For example: https://hackmd.okfn.de/s/release-notes

Good suggestion for listing all important dependencies version indeed.
