Description
This has the advantage that when we go to download the latest release, we know what version we're downloading. It also means that if we need to roll-back due to breaking changes that we don't have to guess which installer to run.
For example, Talk is telling me that 2.06 is available but when I manually go to the download page (the dialog telling me I can open it, never opens the browser) no version number is shown on the page or in the filename. I have to run the installer before I can find out that 2.05 just got reinstalled.
