Version: 4.6.10
The v4.6.10 update is a bit whacked! (1) Before updating, I verified that I had v4.6.9 installed. (2) So I updated, but it told me "Already up-to-date". Indeed a version check now said I had v4.9.10. (3) So, finding this odd, I did the *upgrade* command anyway. There were 6 upgrades to make on my setup, all without my being warned. - - So! If the update oddity hits you as well, do the *upgrade* command anyway!
