You could also check your package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/forms": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/http": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/router": "^5.0.0",
  }

(The caret ^ will update you to the most recent major version (the first number). ^4.3.0 will match any 4.x.x release including 4.4.0, but will hold off on 5.0.0. The tilde ~ matches the most recent minor version (the middle number). ~4.3.0 will match all 4.3.x versions, but will miss 4.4.0.)
