Folk, I received an email from Wolfram today about Mathematica 8.0.1 release. After installing it, if I use Finder.app to browse to /Applications/Mathematica.app and use cmd-i to open the information panel, it shows the version as: "Mathematica 8.0.1 [2063982] copyright 1988-2011 Wolfram Research, Inc.". However, if I open the application and run $Version in a notebook, it says the version is 8.0. Is it normal for the point releases not to show up in the $Version string? In[2]:= $Version Out[2]= "8.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (February 23, 2011)" -jbl
