@Ruskie_it: The leftovers are most likely because you unpacked the jailbreak zip, but installed the bridge, not the 'from scratch' jailbreak. The scripts only cleanup their *own* mess

. (So, yep, clean that up manually).

In most cases, if you want to update the jailbreak, either reinstall the jailbreak like you would on a vanilla device, or reinstall the bridge like any other hack, depending on what is most practical on your device/FW combo.

And to anwser the original question, no, you can't tell. The closest idea you can get is checking the SVN revision of your bridge script and matching that to the releases from the detailed changelog, but that requires a shell access. But that isn't 100% fool-proof, because my build tree is organized in a fairly chaotic manner, so not everything ends up in the right ChangeLog.
