The following line never gets updated when I use upgrade_MailScanner_conf command

MailScanner Version Number = 4.36.1

I think upgrade utility is missing out in updating the above value. It doesn't hurt the working of MailScanner but it would be nice to see the correct value

> 
> I have just released the latest stable release of MailScanner.
> 
> The major new features this month are
> 
> - Panda support completely rewritten (thanks to Rick Cooper!).
> - New options to tag Subject: line of HTML mail that has been disarmed.
> - Can now set the number of "Spam Lists" that are hit before the  
> message is treated as spam.
> - Now passes the testvirus.org "null MIME-boundary" test.
> 
> You can download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.
> 
> The full Change Log is this:
> 
> * New Features and Improvements *
> - Now automatically detects and warns if the "Incoming Work Directory"
>    setting contains any links. It also corrects the path (but not in the
>    MailScanner.conf file) and continues to work properly.
> - Added support for Sophos 3.93.2. You must use the sophos-autoupdate  from
>    this version if you want Sophos to work (both the sophos and  sophossavi
>    scanner settings).
> - Tar and RPM distribution installation scripts now look for gtar if GNU
>    tar was not found, and is happy if /usr/local/bin/perl and /usr/ bin/perl
>    point to the same place.
> - SophosSAVI errors are detected as if they were viruses, and are not
>    ignored.
> - Panda support completely reimplemented a lot better by Rick Cooper.
> - Upgraded File::Temp, Compress::Zlib and ExtUtils-MakeMaker to latest
>    releases.
> - New options "Disarmed Modify Subject" and "Disarmed Subject Text" now
>    provide the ability to alter the Subject: line if any HTML tags in  the
>    body of the message were disarmed (by having their "Allow ....  Tags" set
>    to "disarm". This is switched on by default.
> - New option "Spam Lists To Be Spam" now provides the ability to set how
>    many Spam Lists a message must appear in before it is considered  to be
>    spam. The default is 1 as that mimics the previous behaviour.
> - Improved output of SuSE MailScanner init.d script.
> - Reversed spam and disarm tags to leave spam tag at start of Subject:.
> 
> * Fixes*
> - Fixed problem that could cause harmless header files to be left in the
>    temporary working directories when using Postfix.
> - Fixed problem where attachment size checks were made on the  contents of
>    zip files and not just the zip files themselves.
> - Hopefully fixed problem with ClamAV missing Worm.Sober.P occasionally.
> - No longer import missing whine method from MIME-tools.
> - Fixed problems with incomplete reporting of viruses in zip files.
> - Fixed problem with "Delete" MCP action not being logged in syslog.
> - Fixed problem with the "null MIME boundary" vulnerability test.
> - Added check to upgrade_MailScanner_conf and upgrade_langages_conf  so they
>    check to ensure all input files have content before starting.
> - Fixed bug where clean header was being applied to unscanned mail  when using
>    virus scanning rulesets.
> - Fixed wrong build number for 1 Perl module in install.sh scripts.
> - Fixed typo in upgrade_MailScanner_conf.
> - Made significant changes to child worker process management and 
> re- spawning,
>    to try to avoid problems reported by a few users with MailScanner  "slowly
>    stopping working" over the space of several hours.
