Latest version/build of Sage 50 2021?

SOLVED

Greetings all,

My Sage 50 2021 install is build 28.1.01.0176.

I have a customer of mine that received a Sage 50 update, and their build number is higher than mine. I took a screenshot which of course accidentally got deleted, But I want to say the build was something like 28.1.01.05XX. In other words, the final build number was in the 500's. What's the current official latest build number? Would there be a reason why some customers have a newer release? Is there a way to force the update?

Also I was hoping the Sage team would do a new forum post with each update. Does that happen? I know when you run the in program update routine, it does give you a HTML link to "ReadMore" about the update, but clicking the link takes you to the Sage 50 homepage. Not notes about what's in the updated release. I wonder if there are ever plans to give useful information prior to an update?

Thanks!

    Just in case anyone is curious...


    Sage released a new client build in conjunction with a recent Payroll update. So for users that subscribe to the Payroll updates offerings, they will get Sage 50 2021 28.1.01.0511. For users that do not subscribe to the updates, they will remain on Sage 50 2021 28.1.01.0176.

    From talking further with the Sage team, it sounds like they plan on this being a one-time scenario. All future updates will come the "regular" way via actual updates destined for the Sage 50 product itself, not tied to the Payroll service.
