As a quick way to confirm that you have built the latest version, you can check the output of the "about" command from the command line interface (cli).
All commands are run within the steem directory.
Run steem with websocket rpc enabled
./programs/steemd/steemd --rpc-endpoint "127.0.0.1:8090"
Open a new terminal window or new screen instance
ctl-a c (if using screen)
In new window
./programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet
Once you see the following prompt
locked >>>
type
about
And voilà
