David, If you have the Build 33, you are good. There is no never version until version 8.5 will be released.
If you look back at the later versions of MapInfo, you'll discover that it has been a while since MapInfo actual had a x.01 version. The later versions are kept as x.00 and then just letting the build version change. This also means that you can't check if the user has upgraded with MapInfo as the SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_VERSION) only returns the first two decimals: 8.0.0.0018 -> 800 8.0.0.0033 -> 800 Could have been useful in some cases to be able to verify if the running MapInfo is the latest version or at least a certain version Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

That tells me "There are no patches or updates currently available for your version, platform and language of software." Is this a bug in MapInfo? If there is a newer version, why doesn't the Check For Updates tell me about it? Looking at the Mapinfo.exe file properties, I see the actual version number is 8.0.0.0033 - surely 8.0.1 should be higher/newer than that? The confusing part is that the 8.0.1 manual says "Use the maintenance release file to update MapInfo Professional version 8.0 builds 18 and 21."
