I get the same thing, but never really stopped to question it. The acsbundle.jar within the ZIP shows the date (19 Oct 16 today).

That's funny. When I click on "Updates" from that link I see
I clicked on 'Download IBM i Access Client Solutions base package'
October 2016 – Version 1.1.6.1
Yep. And when you click on the link that actually does the download, what do you see? I see
IBM i Access Client Solutions
IBMiAccess_v1r1.zip (69 MB)
I then click 'Download using http' and I see
IBM i Access Client Solutions
IBMiAccess_v1r1.zip (69 MB)
When I finally downloaded the thing, I ended up with IBMiAccess_v1r1(4).zip
Which I mistakenly read as 'M4'. So yep, I got that part wrong. My download doesn't seem to have 1.1.6.1 anywhere in a file name that I can readily see.
Weirdly enough, the README isn't actually in the download; it's completely separate. There is a readmespacs.txt in the Documentation directory, but it does not specifically note the version. I can infer that it's at least 1.1.6.0 by reading the APARs. Also in the Documentation is acs_v1r1m4.css Getting Started doesn't note the version.
If I have a thumb drive with this directory tree on it, and a month from now I want to install it at home, how will I know what version I'm about to install? At the moment, the easiest thing to do is simply load it in some temp directory, run it and do Help > About to figure out which is what.
That continues to surprise me.
