24801	Opening screen says I should update but Help > About says I have the latest stable version	harry@…	harry@…	"==== What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. 
I launch JOSM using a batch file which includes C:\Users\msdn\AppData\Local\Programs\OpenWebStart>start C:\Users\msdn\AppData\Local\Programs\OpenWebStart\javaws.exe ""https://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm.jnlp""
C:\Users\msdn\AppData\Local\Programs\OpenWebStart>

2. I wait for the opening screen
3. I read the opening screen

==== What is the expected result?

Screen should not contain a ""you should update"" message

==== What happens instead?

Screen contains a ""you should update"" message.

==== Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

I did Help > About, which confirmed that I am using the same version as the stable release:

[See screenshot]
