No, it doesn't. Search for "2.4.25" in the text. If your browser doesn't have that function, install one that has it. "2.4.25" is not in the text. It takes at most three seconds to check. You would still get the first post even if you checked your facts.

And by the way, real programmers don't trust their eyes and fingers. "2.2.25" may look similar to "2.4.25" for you, but not for the browser.

It's 2.2.25

Thanks, you're right. I honestly had completely forgotten about 2.2.x :)
