Three different version numbers are being reported

[potatopotentate]

Describe the bug
There seem to be three different notions of "version":

Method of checking	Version
apt-cache policy pengwin-base	1.0-873
grep "PENGWIN_VERSION" /etc/os-release	22.1.6
Windows	22.3.2.0

To Reproduce

1. Run apt-cache policy pengwin-base in a WSL terminal
2. You'll see output like:

pengwin-base:
  Installed: 1.0-873
  Candidate: 1.0-873

3. Run grep "PENGWIN_VERSION" /etc/os-release in a WSL terminal
4. You'll see output like:

PENGWIN_VERSION="22.1.6"

5. Search for pengwin in the Start Menu, then right-click and open "App settings"
6. You'll see details like:

Specifications

Publisher: Whitewater Foundry
Version: 22.3.2.0

Expected behavior
These 3 methods should output the same version, or the docs should explain the difference between them and how to get each one. Currently, the instructions only mention apt-cache policy which reports the least-relevant version number and it's difficult to know which version of Pengwin is installed.

Additional context

• Windows 10 64-bit
• Installed via Microsoft Store

Basic Troubleshooting Checklist

[x] I have searched Google for the error message.
[x] I have searched the Pengwin issues page: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Pengwin/issues.
[x] I have run Windows 10 updates and restarted.
[x] I have restarted WSL service: wsl.exe --terminate WLinux wsl.exe --shutdown.

Pengwin Version
Well that's the issue at hand 😅 See above.
