Not fond of readers which require some account to use but I can see how for some it'd be useful to have it all in one place, particularly if other synchronization setups weren't feasible (eg: desktop to mobile, should one want that).

Yeah, I see, but on the whole not much different from registering at sites like TPFC, at least for me. You have to give the company some sort of aggregating profile when they're providing you a free service.

On the mobile front, Inoreader does have an Android client, which works transparently with the browser side. I've been using it for years, if you care to know.

If there are some programs that you folks use regularly and are always in touch with updates, it would be much appreciated if you could take a bit of time to update those entries.

Thanks!
So how does one do this? Like WizTree updated to 3.37 today, how to do go about updating it.

Oh, that was easy, and apparently I'm blind. Also you're fast.

EDIT: Oh crap I messed up, I edited the "Release Date" to when the update, and maybe should have left it as the original date...?

EDIT2: Okay fixed the missing Change log now lol, this is hard! Think it's time for bed.

Release data field is supposed to mean the date when the update was released by the developer.

That's what I though, but the previous date was dated as 2020 year and the previous release came out on feb 16 2021, so the year was wrong from before. Made me question what I did...

Sometimes the previous guy forgot to updated the release date.. I make that mistake sometimes!

How do you handle timezones? I updated AHK just now which was released "1 Mar 2021", but for me on my end, it's still Feb 28th for ~30 more minutes. :P.

I know this is super "edge-case-like" and won't come up often but do I go with 1 Mar 2021 or Feb 28th? What if the difference was more then 30 minutes, like 2 hours different?

For me, I normally go with the author's release date if it is stated on their website.

Yes, I follow official sources first, too. Only when they're absent will I search around or come up with a figure myself.

I just updated AutoHotKey again, but their "official" source says March 10th, literally a day ahead, should I still go by that? (I went with the 9th, this time.)

Note: This isn't some kind of beta or pre-release either, it's an official "new version".

Probably a timezone difference. I'm at UTC+2 and your post was only nine minutes before midnight at my timezone. At higher UTC offsets it was already March 10 at the time of your post.

Up to you whether to use the developer-provided date or correct it to your timezone.
