Description

Something somewhere in 1.4.0 made the built WAR file contain release number information (./gradlew bootWAR creates fineract-provider-release-1.4.0-660-g2ce7ed2.war).

This means that end-users have to rename the WAR file back to fineract-provider as it used to be when they deploy it to Tomcat, and causes confusion, as seen e.g. on the recent "Finereract Customization" email thread.

aleks ptuomola I missed when exactly that happened and how (probably it was part of automating the 1.4.0 release work?), and it matters only for historical context - was there a "need" for it, or was it just "nice"? (The same information is of course already available on https://demo.fineract.dev/fineract-provider/actuator/info.)

How about we revert that to how it used to be?

PS: The Boot JAR doesn't suffer from this problem, so we can keep that named as is.
