Hello John,

Filip is absolutely right.

"WinSCP Portable 4.5.1" shows actually "5.1.0" in the internal about requester.

To me, it looks like you guys at PortableApps have currently a little version number problem.

I noticed a similar problem in "LibreOffice Portable 3.6.1.1", which shows actually "3.6.1.2" in the internal about requester.

BTW, you are doing an excellent job besides these little numbering bugs!

It's only WinSCP. LibreOffice is correct. The internal number of LibreOffice (non-portable and portable) is 3.6.1.2. The external number (aka public version) of non-portable is 3.6.1. The external number of portable is 3.6.1.1. This is because a revision was needed but LibreOffice's hosting system doesn't permit 3.6.1 Rev 2. There is no other way to do that.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
