Confused..What is REALLY the latest WB release version??

from Stardock Forums
I have just installed SDC and updated Windowblinds 5 to the latest release..or so I thought! After updating to 5.01.006 (according to SDC that is the latest release), here's what my config looks like:

WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You have one monitor in total.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 6800

Wblind.dll 2006/03/21 13:33:46
Wbsrv.dll 2006/02/05 12:58:22
Wbconfig.exe 2006/03/19 14:33:44
Wbload.exe 2006/03/13 17:54:12
Wbhelp.dll 2004/09/18 16:37:00
Wbui.dll 2005/12/06 21:29:06
Tray.dll 2005/11/02 13:28:26

My confusion is due to the fact that I have read here https://forums.stardock.com/?forumid=167&aid=130001 ,and in other posts, that the version I've updted to now is in fact NOT the latest release. So please, can anyone clarify what the exact latest RELEASE of WB is?? And maybe post what the system information report should then look like? thnx in advance

SuperK, open SDC and click the history for WB - 5.01.006 dates are in June

Your dates look off

Hey Sir B., I think you are looking at the dates backwards, they are 3/whatever/06.
March 2006. No June dates until c Beta.

Yeah Fuzzy, that's why I changed mine to (b) instead of using the [ ].

Hey Sir B., yep uncheck show pre-release and 5.01 shows June 10 2006, with the dates Koa pasted above for 5.01, looks like they tested it for about 3 months before releasing it.

WB does year/month/day as it is the only way to show the dates in a non confusing way.

It's not the order of the date that throws me - it's comparing release date with wb sys info with history
