Hi,
Whenever there's a new portable release of an application it is announced.
In the announcement there's a section called "New In This Release" that lists the changes from last release. Problem is it refers only to the "portability layer" of the app, not to the original app. Regarding the original app it only states "Updated to the latest version of..." or "Updated to version x.x.x of y".
I suggest to add a link to the "what's new" or "change log" of the original app.
Sure It's possible for the end-users (the downloader) to locate this but it's much easier for the developer since he already visits the change log while developing this new portable version.
Just to clarify myself:
I'm not talking about an edit of the original app change log. Just a link to it. Something like:
--- start sample ---
New In This Release
This release updates VLC Media Player to the latest release (0.8.6e - Changelog). It has an improved launcher with better integration with the upcoming PortableApps.com Platform. And it's now digitally signed to ensure integrity.
--- end sample ---
I think its a good idea.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
Thanks for the suggestion, I think it's a great idea as well.

I have to agree with all of you. This is a great idea.

Any particular reason why?
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
