parallelcluster GUI does not allow viewing of minor versions, but yet complains about incompatible major version.

I created a PCUI for 3.11.0. I can view my 3.11.0 and prior clusters. I cannot view my pcluster 3.11.1 clusters.
I fire up the 3.11.0 PCUI and I click on my 3.11.1 cluster. The error message in the red bar the top complains:

It seems that 3.11.0->3.11.1 would be a minor version change, not a major version, so I believe the error message is in error.
It would be nice if minor versions could be managed by the major version PCUI?

Reproduce by:
Create a 3.11.0 and 3.11.1 cluster. Create PCUI for 3.11.0. Fire it up. It will show both clusters. Click on the 3.11.1 cluster and watch the (misleading) error message appear.

Hi Guntram,

Currently, PC UI avoids managing newer cluster versions, regardless of patch/minor version changes. Please use the latest version of PC UI to manage your 3.11.1 clusters.

We will be working on improving PC UI version management.

Thank you,
Hanwen

No worries. I appreciate what we've got. We should just improve the error message at the top.
Thank you!

Improvement for the error message tracked in our backlog.
Thank you @gwolski for the heads up.
