Description
Describe the bug
It is not visible for a user, which version of Appointment is currently running. This makes it sometimes hard to communicate about fixes/features being already on production or not (recently here: https://github.com/thunderbird/appointment/issues/580#issuecomment-4901001323).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to appointment.tb.pro
- See that there is no information about the current version visible
Expected behavior
It would be helpful to have a v1.5.1 somewhere visible for the user, e.g. in the footer area which is always visible on all pages.
Actual behavior
No version information available.
Additional context
In addition, a curated changelog of the changes per version would be helpful too, either as a dedicated page or as a low effort solution a link to the GitHub releases page.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the frontend entry point responsible for the shared footer, then compare it with the behavior at appointment.tb.pro. The primary task is complete when the running Appointment version is visible on all pages; the suggested curated changelog or GitHub releases link is additional scope to clarify.
