File: composer.json line 6
By Seldaek:

In the near future not really no. It's easier since that way packagist [automatically parses](http://packagist.org/packages/monolog/monolog) the version and I don't need to keep updating the composer.json file. In a more distant future though, we may add real package builds to packagist, in which case it could add the version number to the composer.json in the packaged zip archive.

You can check the CHANGELOG file though if you just want to know which version you're on.
