#9139: Cannot upgrade manually anymore

Before the automatic upgrade feature, it was possible to upgrade WordPress
by three simple steps:[[BR]]
- Delete all WP directories/files except wp-content and wp-
config.php,[[BR]]
- Upload all the new directories/files except wp-content and wp-config-
sample.php,[[BR]]
- Go to /wp-admin/upgrade.php.
With the new upgrading system, there is the problem that WordPress doesn't
seem to recognize the new version: After a manual upgrade, It keeps on
printing "WordPress [latest version] is available! Please update now".
This is annoying, of course.
I hope you understand that there are scenarios which make it necessary to
upgrade WordPress with other methods than the auto-upgrader.
Solution: The function to print the upgrading message should have a look
into /wp-includes/version.php before and respect the value of $wp_version.
