As has been said before, the Community Edition did not have an accurate version numbering system, so there is often confusion as to which version a shop may be using.

When Burt started this project back in 2014, osC was at version 2.3.3.4. So, the Community Edition, all through its early development, was also v2.3.3.4. Every release of the Community Edition during these early times was called v2.3.3.4.

When osC upgraded to v2.3.4, Burt brought the Community Edition code base up to the v2.3.4 code base, and the Community Edition became (and stayed at) v2.3.4 while further development was happening. In January 2015, Burt released the 'Gold' fixed release. Development still continued, with every release still being called v2.3.4.

When osC had the v2.3.4.1 Hot Patch applied, Burt also applied the Hot Patch, and the Community Edition was bumped up to v2.3.4.1. Once again, development continued, with every new release still being called v2.3.4.1.

Burt released the 'Frozen' fixed release in August 2018. No additional development is being done on 'Frozen'. Some bugs have been identified in 'Frozen', and there is a thread on the forum identifying them (and some fixes too). At lease one member here is maintaining a patch file of these fixes needed for 'Frozen'.

Development still continues (usually called 'Edge', although that is not a fixed release), and the version number is *still* v2.3.4.1. Some significant changes have been made since 'Frozen' (such as the 'upgrade' from BootStrap v3 to v4), causing some compatibility issues with prior versions, and many (most?) add-ons out there.

So, there is no one 'Edge' version. Releases prior to 'Frozen' could technically be called 'Edge', and every release since 'Frozen' is also technically 'Edge'. A release of 'Edge' from a month ago may not (and probably is not) the same as 'Edge' today.

Also, there is no 'Frozen' BS4. All changes to upgrade to BootStrap v4 came *after* the release of 'Frozen'.

In July of 2019, the 'Phoenix' edition was released. As of this writing, Phoenix is the latest release, now with a consistent version numbering system in place. This numbering system does not relate to the 'official' osC numbering in any way.

So, the only real way to know what version you are running is to look at the date of the original ZIP file that held your original osC code.

What version am I using if the download is called osCommerce-Responsive-master?

Download date in my folder is showing as May 24, 2018, but I think that's only referencing the actual date I downloaded it, not the date it was released.

Not that it matters terribly much at this point - just curious. 

Otherwise, all I see when I run the Version checker from time-to-time is...2.3.4.1 CE

I'm not running Phoenix, so I kind of expect a message other than...

You are running the latest version of osCommerce Online Merchant. 🙂

No, I'm not.  Version checker really doesn't check anything, does it?

The way that the system is supposed to work is that if you are on Phoenix, it checks if there is a newer version of Phoenix.  If you are on osCommerce, it checks if there is a newer official (not community edition) release of osCommerce. 

What you're seeing is that it thinks your version is osCommerce, and its version is equal to the most current official version. 

If you want to see it actually working, rename includes/version.php and put up a new copy with a different version number.  E.g. 1. anything less than 1.0.4.0 would tell you that there is a newer version of Phoenix.  And putting 2.2 or something should tell you that there is a newer version of osCommerce.  I'm not sure what it would do if you put in something like 2.4 or 3. 

Always back up before making changes.

All of the Community Editions were called that.

As you suggested, sometimes the folder date may reflect the date you downloaded. However, all of the files within the folder should all have the same date.

Regardless, with a date of May 2018, this was before the release of Frozen, which was released in August 2018.
