Has nerves_system_rpi3 v1.6.3 delivered Erlang 21.2.6?

The nerves_system_rpi3 v1.6.3 release promises Erlang 21.2.6.

I just now updated my small project and certainly got a newer Linux kernel (Mon Feb 25) but
runtime_info shows

Elixir version: 1.8.1
Erlang/OTP version: 21
ERTS version: 10.2.4

Have I done something silly ?

nope, seems correct see https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/tag/OTP-21.2.6 which has the corresponding erts version…

Clear and useful help ! Thanks.

This also confirms

well actually erts isn’t necessarily updated for each release - see the https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/tag/OTP-21.2.5 release where it’s only “inets” being updated…

so left as an exercise how to get the full version number of a given runtime:/
