Qoute:
"
Hello,
all Alfresco Community versions always show just as major.minor.0 - so the 5.0 always shows as 5.0.0. Maybe this changes with the slightly altered versioning scheme in 5.1, but has been this way for years. The schema version can change in every version due to changes to the DB schema.
So far, I can see nothing unexpected / problematic here...
Regards
Axel"
The 5.0.d should be visible in the alfresco.log when the server starts up. It also can be retrieved via the server descriptor on the Repository tier and is also visible on the Repository start page. It simply is just not displayed in the Share UI.
