Add Date to 3.7 'About'
I try to stay up to date with 3.7 releases in order to get the benefit of the latest fixes, but mainly to promptly catch any changes that break existing functionality. This would be easier if >Help>About> included the date of the build. Then I would download the latest if too many days had passed.
LMK if I should raise this in Github.

The Git SHA should be enough to identify a build and see whether there are later ones
The build date is also encoded into the artifacts filenames, like in e.g. Mu3.7_251070416_Win64_3.x that middle part, 251070416, means, year (20)25, day of year 107, time 04:16

Thanks Jo-jo, I can certainly deduce the date with a few minutes of effort, I just thought this would be an easy feature to add; please disregard this request if not. The SHA (I assume this is the "Revision:" in the 'About' window) does not tell me how old a version I am using, just that it may not be the latest. Thanks also for explaining the date code in the Zip file name. However, once I extract the 7z file, the zip file name is no longer readily available. I just thought given the incredibly rapid progress you're making with 3.7, it would be handy to be able to see the build date at a glance. Thanks again !

Getting the build date into the About dialog does requires some coding effort.
But feel free to file this on GitHub, maybe I or someone else finds the time to implement it
