Caused confution after installation, should correlate with v5.1 or have no version in name at all.

I vote for no version in name at all.

Each new version should just replace the previous one. You don't want people hanging onto AerialScreenSaverV3.scr, AerialScreenSaverV4.scr, AerialScreenSaverV5.scr as you fix bugs. Just asking for more confusion. :)

@alistairmcmillan you're right. But for traceability, should we have a version number visible in the options dialog or in a log file? If someone finds an error, they can see that they aren't on the latest build instead of guessing. Perhaps the app can reach out to github and see the latest version. :)

aka https://api.github.com/repos/cdima/aerial/releases - but the current apps don't carry version info, and the dates don't seem to correlate. :\

@cDima Oh yes, absolutely have the version number in the Settings dialog.

And yeah. If only Windows had something like Sparkle on the Mac.

Well what do you know, there is a Windows version of Sparkle. :) https://github.com/vslavik/winsparkle/wiki/Basic-Setup

But as mentioned in another issue you don't really need an installer.

Maybe just a little thing in the Settings dialog that flags up for the user when a new release is available.
