Hi,
I updated Drupal recently, but I don't remember when exactly. How would I go about finding out the precise date and time of the update? The core's code is not under version control.
Thanks!
Klaas

Look at the date on the files
Look at the date on the files that were uploaded.
Modified date
Thanks. But I believe that the date on the files listed on the server refer to when the original files were modified, and not to when they were uploaded, unfortunately. (Centos) The update was performed through drush.
The date refers to the last
The date refers to the last time the files were modified. If you did an update, the files were modified, and therefore the date will be the time at which they were updated.
updated by developers, not by user
This does not tell me when I performed the update myself. It only tells me when the developers updated the core files. Downloading the files from Drupal.org does not change the 'modified' date. I can verify this by downloading the files once more, and checking that the 'modified' date is indeed still the same: 15 oktober 2014, 16:36.
I get what you are saying now

Other than that, there isn't any reference to when the actual update was done.
