 It doesn't report the (for example) "-8" patchlevel.

 And it's hard to find the partial version number it does report in Vidalia
 (it's in the message log or About box).

 The message log says something like:

 [Sun May 26 20:12:37 2013] The Tor Software is Running - You are currently
 running version "0.2.3.25 (git-17c24b3118224d65)" of the Tor software.

 However, the latest available for download from torproject.org is
 2.3.25-8.  Notice the "-8" is missing from the version reported by Tor.

 It would also be nice if Tor/Vidalia reported the date of that version.
