Say just “Powered by Postulo”, with no version, linking to https://source.tiagoagueda.com/postulo/postulo/releases/. On small screens it is left-aligned and replaces the instance name and motto.

What exists today

templates/base.html:324-330: signed in, a link to the release notes of the running version (RELEASE_NOTES_URL = ".../releases/tag/v{version}", core/context_processors.py:111-132) reading “Powered by Postulo {{ version }}” with data-version; signed out, plain text “Powered by Postulo”. The comment at :294-299 explains why the version is shown only to people signed in.
The version stays available elsewhere: /healthz and Server settings → Overview (tests/test_server_settings.py:145).
“Source code” (:332-336, POSTULO_SOURCE_URL) is the AGPL offer of the source and stays as it is.

What would change

One link for everybody to the releases page, rel="noopener noreferrer external", target="_blank" as now.
With #835: below a breakpoint it moves to the start of the footer row.

Decisions

Forks. The releases link is upstream's even when POSTULO_SOURCE_URL points at a fork, as the release-notes link already is. Recommended: keep it upstream; the source link is the one a fork must change.

Tests: tests/test_footer.py:47-63,105-108; the browser suite anchors on footer [data-version] (tests/e2e/test_navigation_bar.py:221-223) and needs another hook.

Checked against main at 8c3d03570. From the maintainer's improvements list of 2026-10-07.
