You can even copy and paste the published md5 sum into the compare box to quickly compare it. PortableApps.com publishes the md5 sums for all its apps, so you can easily ensure that you have the real deal.
I'm confused
Why do some of these just increment the revision, while others add a .1 to the end of the app's version? From what I can tell the base app hasn't been modified at all in any case (as evidenced by e.g. SpeedCrunch still listing itself as 0.10.1 in the About box). I was under the impression that if the base app didn't change, you just increment the revision in all cases?
Yeah
That's exactly what I was wondering. I thought it was purely revisions for stuff done on the PortableApps.com end.
