How can I tell which CakePHP version is a project made with?

I have found that the version, as of CakePHP 2.3.0, is held within a static file under the root Cake lib.

bash #: cat $CAKE_ROOT/lib/Cake/VERSION.txt////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ //// CakePHP Version//// Holds a static string representing the current version of CakePHP//// CakePHP(tm) : Rapid Development Framework (http://cakephp.org)// Copyright 2005-2012, Cake Software Foundation, Inc.

Edit core.php, add to top:

echo Configure::version();

For cakephp 3.x find \vendor\cakephp\cakephp\VERSION.txt
