  Prior to this APAR, the Bundle-Version attribute for the
  objectgrid.jar and ogclient.jar bundles were set to the
  version number of the product; for example: "7.1.1", "8.5.0",
  or "8.6.0".  This makes it difficult to recognize, at first
  glance, whether a fix pack or interim fix has been applied.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Bundle-Version attribute in the
  objectgrid.jar or ogclient.jar files contain the same
  product release version number. However, the build
  date and timestamp are appended to more easily determine that a
  fix pack or interim fix has been applied.
  
  For bundles intended for use in the WebSphere
  Application Server Liberty profile, the Bundle-Version
  attributes have been reset in WebSphere eXtreme Scale V8.5 and
  V8.6. In V8.5, all Bundle-Version attributes are set to
  1.0. In V8.6, all Bundle-Version attributes are set to 1.1.
  These attributes will also contain the build date and timestamp.
