    We’ve been contacted by a number of clients inquiring as to why they received emails today, apparently from Google Webmaster Tools, stating that their WordPress installations are out of date when they are in fact running the most current version of WordPress (3.1.3 as of June 18, 2011). We have no additional information as to why Google is sending these mails, which we support in principle, however they appear to be inaccurate as our client sites are all upgraded to WordPress 3.1.3.

    The text of the mail appears below. These can be disregarded and we will update this page with additional information as it becomes available.
