In the generated files SpecFlow: Runtime Version: 4.0.30319.468 vs. 4.0.30319.239 - where did it come from?

Question

I am developing Windows Server 2008 (not R2) using VS 2010 Pro. I upgraded SpecFlow on my machine to version 1.8.1 today and selected it Regenerate Feature Filesin Visual Studio by right-clicking on a project that contains some SpecFlow function file.

In the latest version, 1.7.1, after that I got the following in the generated file header:

//      SpecFlow Version:1.7.1.0
//      SpecFlow Generator Version:1.7.0.0
//      Runtime Version:4.0.30319.468

Now, after installing version 1.8.1, I got the following:

//      SpecFlow Version:1.8.1.0
//      SpecFlow Generator Version:1.8.0.0
//      Runtime Version:4.0.30319.239

Note the change in build number from 468to 239? I am wondering where such a version change (.NET) of the Runtime Version comes from. Checking some dlls in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319showed that they carry a version number 4.0.30319.239- so how can I "upgrade" (back) to 4.0.30319.468?

Any help / hint appreciated.

I remember the same thing when we upgraded to SF 1.8.1. You do not need to worry about this in the generated function files, as they are just comments. SF 1.8.1 still worked for us.
