Version Updates

Same as what @192.89.123.43 said up above, the first footnote referencing the current version / stable release is outdated. It still points to v 0.4.6 "The Good Variant" which is from October of last year. But v 0.4.7 "Just Keep Swimming" was released on March 2nd of this year. And v 0.4.8 "Who Crossed the Streams? dropped on July 15th, just 2 days ago. That's 4 months and 2 versions without any article revisions so far.

Either minor edits should be allowed for maintaining incremental updates like these, or if that's not an option, perhaps that first footnote should be swapped out for more generic overview pages like Releases (https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/releases/) or the Changelog (https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/blob/b407621a8d02f8eb4c7a2c41f1ef52a1fa7bac8d/CHANGELOG.md) which always ensures that the latest / current / stable release will be what's showcased at the very top of those GitHub pages whenever someone follows either of those link from this Wikipedia article. 2601:2C0:C380:E00:3500:FFF3:28E2:CCE5 (talk) 06:09, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Defunct?

Is there *any* version that is still online? If not, this article should change to the past tense. It seems they all stopped a few years back by now. PhotographyEdits (talk) 10:12, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
