    I had been wondering about that too so I looked it up and apparently it’s just what discover displays whenever there’s an update that doesn’t change the version number which is things like rebuilds with a newer compiler. Very confusing wording, I feel like just “update of version [version]” would be less confusing

      This is why semver is a thing. If a program is released under 1.1.x, and then recompiled with a new compiler, then it can be 1.1.y where y > x

          Yeah, but in the context of flatpak isn’t the distribution managed by the developer themselves? Also, in the distro release version case, they usually add something distro specific to differentiate it.

            No, most often it’s not.

        openSUSE, the by far most reliable rolling release distribution. Reliable packages are more important than a bit of data traffic.
