Deprecated - Drupal core

Hi,
Is there any function in Drupal that returns, the version no.
I want to check which version of Drupal am I using...
Which function can tell me that..

I searched API function reference for string "*drupal*" and couldn't find any such function.

In the past few weeks I've noticed some innovative new solutions with comments rolled out on a few sites. I thought it might be worth sharing them here and then discussing whether any of these changes are feasible for consideration of future core development. One of the main things I like about both of these two examples I'm about to share is they utilize AJAX in a meaningful and significant way. It seems like this would provide performance for high traffic sites while providing some "wow factor" for lower traffic or personal sites.

The first example comes from DailyKos which just launched a new commenting system last night. This post explains what they did and you can check out any post to play with the comments. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/3/13/25058/9474 You may need to be logged in to see some of the features. One of the cooler things here is the autorefresh feature.

The second example you may well have seen before, and that is Digg's new comment system. This thread is just a good representative example: http://www.digg.com/apple/Optimized_Firefox_builds_for_Mac_processors . Again you may need to be logged in to see everything.

One thing that both of these approaches have is the ability to "rate" or "recommend" comments and the system does certain things with them after they exceed a threshold. Now I know there are a few contributed modules that do some of this, but 1) it isn't in core and 2) they don't really function like this.

Hi

this is what I get when uploading pictures with Drupal 4.7 beta 5 (on my testserver) - I already know that there is missing one column in db, but do we have here a patch for fixing that or am I missed something before and not installed image module properly or am I found a bug ?

Forgive the intrusion as I am unsure where to post this question. Can't find any reference to it on Drupal anywhere.

I have a client using Drupal 4.6.5. Unforunately the site administrator isn't equipped to handle a DOS bulletin board of the 1980's yet the client company has put the site in their hands.

As a host, my hair is frizzed due to the amount of time having to spend averting problems.

My latest is a module I continue to disable yet am unable to find in the /modules directory.

When I reciently changed how my hosting was done(I got a dreamhost account) instead of reinstalling my existing 4.6 I'd backed up I put in the 4.7 beta 5. I'm impressed with it. First off it seems much faster and to have a few new features. The odd plugin I do wish was built in(phpinfo and sanity check are useful in general no matter sites use).

Hello,

I made a small pach to disable public access to cron.php. This patch will add the following new settings under administer => settings => cron jobs:

• Enable cron security
• Security type (allow from secific ip addresses / only from commandline)
• Ip list of ip addresses that are allowed to access cron.php
• Log unauthorized requests to cron.php
