WordPress 3.8 keeps asking me to upgrade to 3.8

by

It began with version 3.7.1:

You are using WordPress 3.7.1. Update to 3.7.1

I’ve installed and usually update WP with git from https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress:

cd wordpress
git fetch --tags
git checkout 3.8

Then I usually download localized version (ru_RU) and copy over updated language files (wp-content/languages/).

Everything was smooth until 3.7.1 and it looks like I’m not the only one encountering this issue.

Does anybody have any idea how to fix that? Thanks!

Don’t use the update now button, use a full on download of the core WP – http://wordpress.org/download/ – and then make sure you flush any cache you’ve got running. Do you have memcached or APC or xcache? Purge that. Plugins ditto.

I saw that on one of my sites where my server’s object cache hung on to things. I went and checked the readme.html and verified I WAS on the right version, so I knew it had to be cached somewhere.
