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:
```plaintext
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? I’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.
