DB Browser for SQLite upgrade to version 3.9.1 on Mac OS X

I upgraded the version of DB Browser for SQLite on my MacBook Pro today to the latest version, 3.9.1v2. Before upgrading, I had version 3.8.0 on the system. When I checked the version from a command line interface, i.e., a Terminal window, using the system_profiler command, I didn't find any references to the program when I searched for "SQLite:", but I saw the version number listed for "sqlitebrowser."

After I performed the upgrade, I still saw the "sqlitebrowser" entry for version 3.8.0 when I used the system_profiler command to search for references to "sql," but I also saw there was now an entry returned for version 3.9.1, also.
