[wp-hackers] how to use wp_version_check() function?

[Konrad Karpieszuk]

ooook :) so now i understand :) so if i want to check which version i have,
i need to do this piece of code:
// it takes all information:
$update_core = get_transient('update_core');
// it takes information sent from wordpress server:
$za = $update_core->updates;
// it takes information about version with locale same as out (eg pl_PL)
$zb = $za[0];
// and it takes info which version we have comparing to server version
$zm = $zb->response;
// return: "latest" for latest, "upgrade" if we have too old version and
"development" if we have for example wordpress 12.4.2 ;)
echo $zm;

it's not a question :) i checked and it works, but i wrote those obvious
things for people who will google this email ;)
