Why isn't my beowulf being upgraded to 3.1?

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?

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

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

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

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

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