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

Question

Is it possible to know the version of CakePHP used to generate a project with only the app code available?

---

My problem:

I downloaded a project made with CakePHP, and I really can't tell which Cake version to use. The files say, e.g. @version $Revision: 8004 $, but this is different in some files. Should I assume that the highest revision (8004) is the correct one to use?

It seems to be from around 2008, so I guess it's a 1.x version.

PD: Here is the code to the project.

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.
