#44122: Show installed core version number when update is available

     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  assigned
 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  General      |    Version:  4.9.5
 Severity:  normal       |   Keywords:  has-patch
  Focuses:  ui           |
-------------------------+-----------------------------
 Currently, when a core update is available there is no easy way for users
 to see their installed version compared to the version of the update
 available.

 The text above the installation button reads, "You can update to WordPress
 4.9.5 automatically." The version number in the footer is also replaced
 by, "Get version 4.9.5"

 This makes it difficult for a user to know how significant of an update
 the change would be, and also inhibits them from looking over the
 appropriate change-logs to see the differences.

 The proposed enhancement is to add the current version number to the same
 string, i.e., "You can update from WordPress 4.7.10 to WordPress 4.9.5
 automatically."
