Firmware version unchanged after upgrade

[sambrightman]

It's unclear to me if this is a bug in this repo or a problem elsewhere in the chain, or if I'm misunderstanding the versioning. Perhaps the firmware version is not supposed to be the bootloader version.

I upgrade the bootloader using micronucleus from PlatformIO - which is version 2.5 Feb 8 2021 - to the latest from this repo (micronucleus version 2.6 from the release tarball of upstream did not seem to detect the device at all). It seems to work fine:

$ ~/.platformio/packages/tool-micronucleus/micronucleus  --run ~/dev/micronucleus-firmware/firmware/upgrades/upgrade-t85_entry_on_powerOn_activePullup_fastExit.hex
> Please plug in the device ...
> Device is found!
connecting: 33% complete
> Device has firmware version 1.6
> Available space for user applications: 6012 bytes
> Suggested sleep time between sending pages: 8ms
> Whole page count: 94  page size: 64
> Erase function sleep duration: 752ms
parsing: 50% complete
> Erasing the memory ...
erasing: 66% complete
> Starting to upload ...
writing: 83% complete
> Starting the user app ...
running: 100% complete
>> Micronucleus done. Thank you!

I use CLI version 2.6 from the upstream release tarball (which incorrectly reports 2.5 but Nov 4 2021) with --info to see the firmware version again (or alternatively install a user program using 2.5), and it does not appear to have changed:

$ ~/Downloads/micronucleus-cli-master-882e7b4a/micronucleus --info
> Please plug in the device ...
> Device is found!
connecting: 40% complete
> Device has firmware version 1.6
> Available space for user applications: 6012 bytes
> Suggested sleep time between sending pages: 8ms
> Whole page count: 94  page size: 64
> Erase function sleep duration: 752ms
>> Micronucleus done. Thank you!

Is this the expected behaviour?

Expected behavior
Firmware gets updated and shows new version.
