OpenCart was producing much confusion about his current, installed version.

After several posts an questions in their forum like 'which version do I have' or 'which version is installed', the developers of OpenCart decided with the publishing of version 1.4.4 to display the version number at the backend (admin area).

Not consistently - as the following will show:

1.3 2. (or lower) defaut theme has a red, rectangular menubar
1.3.4. default theme has a half red/half gray rounded corner menubar
1.4.0 default theme is blue with tabs and no version number in the admin footer and no multi-store
1.4.1 - 1.4.3 default theme is blue with tabs and no version number in the admin footer but has multi-store
1.4.4 admin footer shows 1.4.4.
1.4.5 or 1.4.6 admin footer shows 1.4.5.
1.4.7 admin footer shows 1.4.7.

So, if you want to update your existing installation and not shure if you will have 1.4.5 or 1.4.6 you are in a bad situation, but not helpless.

Just open up your database management tool (like phpMyAdmin) and check the table 'setting'.

If you find the value 'config_admin_language' (group 'config'), then you have 1.4.6.

On the other side, if you are using the OCIE for updating your existing installation and not shure which version, use 1.4.5 - then you are on the safe side.
