I installed a pre-built version of GNU Emacs 24.3.1 on Windows 8.1. It came with v7.9.3f of Org. I used the package management option to update to the latest version which (I think) it installed into my ~/.emacs.d directory (ELPA?). This looks to be Org v8.2.5h. However, org-version still lists as v7.9.3f. Is something not loading?
