Updates and version number discrepancy

Support
1

Self hosted Discourse. The version indicated on the Dashboard is always consistently different from the version shown in the Update Discourse page. Why is this?

Currently, for example, we have:

Update page:
latest-release +212
v3.5.0.beta1 +212

Dashboard (after installing said version):
installed
3.5.0.beta2-dev

Latest
3.5.0.beta2-dev

Help understanding this would be appreciated. [Discourse seems to work just fine, except that this bothers me a little - I would have thought the versions would correspond.]

In app.yml I am on version tests-passed, the default.

Is it impolite to bump this? Iā€™d really like to know why the discrepancy. It makes me feel uncertain about the installation.

You see v3.5.0.beta2-dev because every time a beta version is released, here 3.5.0.beta1, the next version bump starts with -dev suffix.

When 3.5.0.beta2 is released (the -dev is removed), the next version bump will be 3.5.0.beta3-dev, etc.
