Summary-page with version-numbers for all programshajo - August 27, 2009 - 3:34pm
Currently, the version-numbers for all the programs that are part of portable-apps It would be useful to have a summary-page showing the version-numbers ( categories: )

Updater
This will be primarily handled by the updater coming in the next platform release. If you missed the recent postings in the frontpage feed, just click on more news and you'll get a nice table of recent releases (all of them):

Why not just add the current
Why not just add the current version after the name of each program on http://portableapps.com/apps ?

Extraneous
Simple, for most users it's just extraneous information and it clutters the page. Same reason the menu doesn't list the version next to every app. Same reason Windows' start menu doesn't either.
Anyone who'd like to be sure they're current can easily use the updater. Anyone curious about recent releases can easily see it in the list.

ALT attribute?
Could always throw the information into the ALT attribute for the IMG tag for the program's icon. Mouseover the Firefox icon, for example, and see "Current version: 3.5.2". Just an idea...
