Windows Winget display version

#1

As stated in the following two topics:
1. Topic
2. Topic

Sublime Text 4 is missing its version number for winget, which defeats the feature of automatic updates.

Since winget is the standard/only package manager for Windows 10 and 11, and therefore on basically every up-to-date machine, I would appreciate it if this could be included to simplify updating for all users.

To be clear, the only official supported update methods are https://www.sublimetext.com/download. On Windows, it’s builtin in ST. For any other unofficial methods, they are unrelated here, at least that’s what I feel what ST staff’s attitude is.

I highly doubt that these packages https://winget.run/pkg/SublimeHQ are maintained by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. Otherwise, staff should’ve fix your issue.

Based on the package information:

The packages are maintained by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd,
that’s why I wrote into this forum.

As you can see here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/s/SublimeHQ those packages were submitted by 3rd parties.
