system information doesn't show correct version information

Currently vm 3.88 shows only

Scientific Linux 6

but it should show something like

Scientific Linux 6.1

content of /etc/*release is

Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon)

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

That's odd, Virtualmin should detect the new OS version.. although it doesn't really treat 6.0 any different from 6.1.

Do you see a button on the System Information page prompting you to update the detected OS?

I think there was a button, which I clicked (after upgrading to 6.1), but the version information didn't change.

But I don't think it is upgrade related. I did a fresh install with webmin only and can see the same version issue.

Ok, I see the issue now .. there is a bug in Webmin's Scientific Linux version detection.

I'll fix this in the next release. Fortunately is it basically cosmetic, and doesn't effect functionality.

I tested this with webmin 1.5.80, but the incorrect version is still shown (and the changelog didn't mention anything about a version fix either :-)

There is some caching that happens which may delay that message by up to a day ..
