I'm troubleshooting some issues with my Jenkins setup, and as part of that downloaded the latest version from the website, which I noticed is labeled 1.602. I've installed that version, but the bottom corner of Jenkins pages says 1.599. No updates are shown under "manage Jenkins". How can I verify what version I'm running?

thanks,
-josh

If it helps, this is Jenkins on Windows, installed via the msi installer. 

There is a <version> tag in the config.xml, but that says 1.587.

I'd be surprised if the bottom-right corner is wrong, but you can try
checking the /about page (e.g. https://ci.jenkins-ci.org/about/).

You can also see the version in every HTTP request in the "X-Jenkins"
header, e.g. curl -sI https://ci.jenkins-ci.org/ | grep X-Jenkins:

But I think in both cases, that value comes from something like
META-INF/maven/org.jenkins-ci.main/jenkins-war/pom.xml in the directory
where the Jenkins WAR file gets extracted to. So if, for some unlikely
reason, that file didn't get overwritten during extraction or upgrade,
it's potentially possible that the value is incorrect.

You could also try something more mundane like restarting Jenkins, or
making sure the Update Centre is up-to-date (via the Check Now button).

Regards,
Chris
