Not sure if this is still the case in newer builds, but I had 9.0.0.0 on one machine. When having it check the version, it always said it was the current version, even though the website showed newer versions available. I manually upgraded to 9.0.5.0, and I'll watch to see if it still does it.
The auto-update flag is set manually after a period where we ensure everything is all right.
We will set the flag in the coming hours.
Right now, it would mention the presence of a newer version only if you had allowed to include beta versions in the auto-update check.
