Description
What type of update are you requesting?
A change to the package metadata
Current Package Identifier
ElementLabs.LMStudio
Package Version
0.3.15
Please describe the changes you would like to see
First off, I'm not very well versed in WinGet source code, so I have no idea what I'm talking about technically.
winget update did not show any updates available for LM Studio, but when opening the application I was prompted to update to the latest version, which was the same version number but Build 11, which is not a part of the version code in winget. I guess that makes winget not "see" that there's a change/new version available. Would be nice to be able to use winget to update between build numbers just like when using the in-app method. I guess that requires a change in how version numbers are currently formatted.
Again, I am not very familiar with how this all works, so bear with me if I am inaccurate or have misconceptions. Hope this can be improved without too much hassle!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the package metadata for ElementLabs.LMStudio and how WinGet represents its version. Determine whether the Build 11 change can be represented in the package metadata and how update detection should recognize it. Done means the package can expose the newer build through WinGet without losing the existing version information.
