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.
