Comment (by markshep):

 Has the version number really not been displayed on the upgrade screen for
 six years?  I guess there's not much chance of this getting fixed if it's
 been that long :-(.

 Displaying this information would be really useful for anyone who either
 wants to or needs to manually upgrade WordPress.  I'm in the situation
 where I'm forced to manually upgrade the various WordPress sites I run
 because the automatic updates don't work for me.  When I go to the upgrade
 page for a site I'd really like to know what the currently running version
 of WordPress is so I know how far behind that particular site is.

 I really don't understand the rationale for hiding this information.
 Those who don't need to know can just ignore it, but those of us who do
 want to know would find it very useful.
