   Just downloaded (from WP.org) and installed what claimed to be 2.1.2, but dashboard displays "2.1". Is it supposed to show 2.1.2? I checked the version.php and it shows 2.1 as well.

   Want to make sure I have the newest version.

   http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.1.3-RC1.zip

   Of course though, once they "officially release" that 2.1.3 you'll have to get that latest batch of files and apply the rest of the files and such...

   2.1.3 will be officially released soon, very soon.

   What I do is, I SVN CO whatever version I want on my domains.
   svn co http://svn.automattic.com/branches/2.1/ .

   Then it's just a matter of SVN UP on the domains to get the latest fixed files...

   Thanks for the reply.

   Should the dashboard display 2.1.x? Or does it just show the series #?

   It should show the 2.1.X as far as I know... I haven't been running the branches/ though. I've been running trunk/ which is "2.2-bleeding".. which is what shows for me, same as what's in version.php.

   So my guess is, it should be showing 2.1.2 for you then. Maybe try clearing your browser cache. CTRL + F5 together.

   Still showing "2.1"

   This is a fresh, first time install from the .zip linked to on the main download page. Downloaded about 2hrs ago. The file is labeled 2.1.2

   I am new to WP and wonder why they obfuscate the version #. I had to search the forums to find out where to look, and even then I wasn't sure. The way it is displayed, 2.1 - x.xx seconds, makes it look like part of the page creation time.

   I just downloaded both the zip and the tar.gz from http://wordpress.org/download/ to check this. In both downloads, version.php contains this:

   $wp_version = '2.1.2';
   $wp_db_version = 4773;

   I installed 2.1.2 last weekend, and at the foot of my dashboard, I see this:

   2.1.2 — 0.72 seconds

   If you're seeing 2.1, you have either got a cached page, or the wrong download.

   Time to clean my desktop! I had planned to do this install several weeks ago and had downloaded and extracted 2.1 to a folder which I forgot was on my desktop. It was the first one that appeared in my FTP client and the one that got installed. DOH!

   Thanks for the prompt replies.
