Showing wrong Core current version on the update page.

[thamaraiselvam]

I am using development version 4.8-alpha-40312 but in the update page it shows stable version. 4.7.3

If you need to re-install version 4.7.3, you can do so here:

I checked in the wp-admin/update-core.php and found this

<?php
foreach ( (array) $updates as $update ) {
    echo '<li>';
    list_core_update( $update );
    echo '</li>';
}

This line $updates should be $updates[0] to get latest version on wordpress.

array (
  0 => 
  stdClass::__set_state(array(
     'response' => 'development',
     'download' => 'https://wordpress.org/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip',
     'locale' => 'en_US',
     'packages' => 
    stdClass::__set_state(array(
       'full' => 'https://wordpress.org/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip',
       'no_content' => false,
       'new_bundled' => false,
       'partial' => false,
       'rollback' => false,
    )),
     'current' => '4.8-alpha-40312',
     'version' => '4.8-alpha-40312',
     'php_version' => '5.2.4',
     'mysql_version' => '5.0',
     'new_bundled' => '4.7',
     'partial_version' => '',
     'dismissed' => false,
  )),
  1 => 
  stdClass::__set_state(array(
     'response' => 'latest',
     'download' => 'https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-4.7.3.zip',
     'locale' => 'en_US',
     'packages' => 
    stdClass::__set_state(array(

       'new_bundled' => 'https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-4.7.3-new-bundled.zip',
       'partial' => false,
       'rollback' => false,
    )),
     'current' => '4.7.3',
     'version' => '4.7.3',
     'php_version' => '5.2.4',
     'mysql_version' => '5.0',
     'new_bundled' => '4.7',
     'partial_version' => '',
     'dismissed' => false,
  )),
)

But above that you can install latest nightly

You are using a development version of WordPress. You can update to the latest nightly build automatically:

Update Now

!?

No, it just install the stable version v4.7.3
but Do WordPress support downgrade option?

Hey @thamaraiselvam, sorry for this issue not getting attention for a while.

I started looking into your patch, and I'm noticing that in trunk right now there is a version number for the dev version found at the bottom of the page. It's put there by src\wp-admin\includes\update.php line 253.

I agree that the language is confusing for the descriptions. Should this just be updating the text to say 'If you need to re-install release version %s, you can do so here:' ?

The get_core_updates method will return false.
