If you properly filled in the series and series index (see attached) then the Book Details panel would show the correct book number. You have the index for that book as 1 so it shows up as book 1 in the book details panel. Also you might want to remove the parenthesis from your series names.

You can't edit this out it is a feature of the book details. You can remove the series info from the book details panel by going to
Preferences - Look and Feel - Book details tab and unchecking the appropriate box.

I'm guessing you followed the steps to download the update. Once downloaded you have to run the file to install the update.

You make an excellent point if the series name includes the number then you end up with all your series being only one book long.
@slammerkin the series name needs to be exactly the same for every book in the series, you must remove the numbers from this field. Update the Number field to reflect your book numbers.
Good reading.
