When checking for a new release, e.g. of GitLab, I usually visit the project page and click on *123 tags* next to the number of branches. It would be great to see the version number of the current release directly on the project home page. In a previous version of GitLab, the content of the `VERSION` file was shown, if it existed. This was introduced in gitlab-ce@af7e77984c72da8b240f5d7079ca1d30847843f6. As in this repository this file always contains a `-pre` version in the `master` branch, I suggest showing the latest Git tag. The tag to be shown could be the first one from the `/tags` page.
