Okay then. But the system should reflect that, like it did for ascii.

The point-release numbers refer to the isos. If you update/upgrade your system, your system is much newer than 3.1.

if you have proper beowulf repositories and your system is fully upgraded, you're always on the latest version.

So then am I to assume that I really am on 3.1?

I had the same problem with Beowulf. It seems that the maintainer "forgot" to update devuan_version. It is still going on (notice no number):

$ cat /etc/devuan_version
chimaera

I have installed the Miyo version based on beowulf. When I hover over the start menu button on the panel, the pop-up says Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (beowulf). An inxi report also says version 3. However, this page here says the current version of beowulf is 3.1. When I was on ascii the pop-up would say 2.1 for ascii. According to Synaptic I'm up to date. So why isn't my system being upgraded to beowulf 3.1?
