Warning at VS startup: 'Your Azure Functions tooling installation is outdated'

Question

A new message has appeared every time I start VS 2017:

Your Azure Functions tooling installation is outdated. Please update it to the latest version.

I assume this refers to Azure Function Tools for Visual Studio 2017 but I already have the latest version.

VS Tools > Extensions and Updates shows no updates available.

Is there really an update available, and where?

I am running:

• VS Pro 2017, version 15.3.0 preview 7.0
• Azure Function Tools for Visual Studio 2017, version 0.2
• Windows 7

This has been confirmed to be a bug, as there is in fact no newer version available. The team is working on a fix which should go out in the next couple days. In the meantime, please just ignore the message.

Update: Updated extension that fixes the warning is now live. You can manually update, or auto-update should push it within 1-2 days if you don't manually update.
