When looking at any island, click the "Options" icon in the lower right corner. This brings up a panel labeled "Options" (big surprise there, right?). In that panel, at the lower left, click the button labeled "Help." This brings up the "Help" panel, which will show your version number. 1.2.4 is current. If you just started 3 weeks ago, that should be the version you have, since it came out about a month ago.

No, updating will not lose your progress, the game would be entirely useless if you couldn't update it safely.
