Why does Bazaar, or possibly Flathub/Flatpak?, regularly show updates for apps that has in fact not been updated. Like today Sigil, last update 7 months ago, and Frog, last update 1 year ago. I already had the latest version of both installed, so what's the update?

@forteller @woodsb02 @sandberg you can also hover the update date on flathub.org and get the last build date there

@razze Huh, interesting. Thanks! I would love to see a way to understand what is going on for other confused people also. Maybe an FAQ page explaining this and other things people might find puzzling. @woodsb02 @sandberg

@forteller My guess: There's an update to the packaging, e.g. move some files to a better location when installed.
