What use is it calling it r18123 instead of 3.0?  Things often have names, get over it.

rbutility hasn't been updated to offer the release version as an option, so you just got the latest build (which is what is supposed to happen).

I guess you missed my point.  From the 3.0 release notes:
Using the Rockbox Utility is the easiest way to install Rockbox 3.0. Simply run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you stop/eject/unmount the usb disk before you unplug it.

That's what I did and I did not know if I had 3.0 or not.  In fack I did not.  The release notes are wrong.

"In fact you did not." As our guidelines say, please use real English. We even have a spell checker to help you with this.

The release notes, unfortunately, assume a perfect world in which the installation tools were finished sooner than they were. The world is not perfect, and they will come soon.

Which is fixed now. Unfortunately Rockbox Utility needed some slight adjustments for 3.0, so this took a bit (and keep in mind that all this is done by volunteers which have their day jobs too). If you want to use Rockbox Utility for installing the 3.0 release you mustn't use the automatic installation though -- but you can do so and afterwards "update" your build to 3.0.
