.NET Core Version Numbers

Question

I have .NET Core installed and I am a little confused about the version numbers I am seeing. When I run the dotnet command, I get this output:

Microsoft .NET Core Shared Framework Host

  Version  : 1.1.0
  Build    : 928f77c4bc3f49d892459992fb6e1d5542cb5e86

Usage: dotnet [common-options] [[options] path-to-application]

Common Options:
  --help                           Display .NET Core Shared Framework Host help.
  --version                        Display .NET Core Shared Framework Host version.

Options:
  --fx-version            Version of the installed Shared Framework to use to run the application.
  --additionalprobingpath    Path containing probing policy and assemblies to probe for.

Path to Application:
  The path to a .NET Core managed application, dll or exe file to execute.

If you are debugging the Shared Framework Host, set 'COREHOST_TRACE' to '1' in your environment.

To get started on developing applications for .NET Core, install the SDK from:
  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798306&clcid=0x409

That is telling me I have .NET Core v1.1.0, which is what I expected based on what I installed.

However, if I then run dotnet --version, it tells me I have version 1.0.1. Why the discrepancy? What is the difference between these two version numbers?

I wrote stackoverflow.com/documentation/.net-core/9592/… a few weeks ago. Hope it helps. — omajid

That note is trying to explain 1. versions are different between teh components and 2. how to find each version. Trying to keep a track of latest versions is kind of too much manual work :) — omajid

1.0.1 is a .NET Core SDK version
1.1.1 is a .NET Core runtime version

To be very pedantic, 1.1.1 is the version of the shared host, not the shared framework. Basically the version of github.com/dotnet/core-setup, not the version of github.com/dotnet/corefx or github.com/dotnet/coreclr.
