Nope, that is not a problem here. Personally, I've no issue with showing the
x.y.z label in the recent stanza of the dialog (the code is in the linked
update.php URL above).

Rather, the issue here, is that we are no longer correctly connecting to the
TDF update server.

An install that worked correctly before--has stopped connecting, and we get a
unintelligible "checking for update failed" message. Also, that the dialog is
uninformative as to why and could use some dev attention especially as with bug
95183 and bug 95184 it has broken badly for Windows XP users (a libcurl
change).
