about the emulationstation v2.10.2.......

I have look on github......and this version as been released about 8 days ago.
It's the version it's been upgraded but the binary report a wrong version ?

@mitu
Thanks I was just wondering as improved features like Bluetooth update in the release notes I was not sure if that would be working with just updating retropie setup script , core and main packages or if it was needed to use the update option in retropie setup.

After updating retropie setup script it shows 4.8 and core packages it shows the latest emulationstation same version as in the latest changes.

All seems good from the quick testing ive done.

Thanks

@Simrose let me understand..... you have upgrade right now and you have emulationstation correctly reported as 2.10.2 ?

Maybe i need to re-install emulationstation from binary to fix this inconsistency on my pi4 ?

Simrose

@DjDiabolik
Yes thats correct v2.10.2
and Retroarch v1.10.0
I went to retropie setup and updated the retropie setup script. I then updated the core and main packages.
restarted the system and checked in emulationstation the version number and its on 2.10.2

I am just now wondering about the following
Improved joystick support in RetroPie-Setup dialogs.
Improvement to RetroPie package management and updating.
Improvements to handling of dkms drivers.
bluetooth – various fixes and improvements
If these improvements would only be included if you run the retropie update option.

Thanks

Did you upgrade your binary after @buzz's mention ?

DjDiabolik

@mitu no..... i need to re-install from binary inside "Core" packages ?

These were already included. Just emulationstation and a few emulator updates were missing.

Thanks for replying.

So the updates i mentioned above would of been included in the 4.71 image or by updating the setup script.
Sorry if my question is silly, I am just trying to learn.
I am very grateful for your knowledge.
Many Thanks

@mitu i have right now turn on my Pi4.
Open "Retropie-setup" and update my script to current commit (2d07a999).

After that i did:

Manage -> Core -> and select "Update all installed core".
I can't find any updates. So exit from retropie-setup and emulationstation still at 2.10.1 :)

At this point i have tryed to update emulationstation manually.... i did:
Manage -> Core -> Select "Emulationstation" - > re-installed manually from binary

Now need to check if it's correctly updated :)

EDIT
OOOOKKK... my ES been updated to v2.10.2 whitout any issue.
