I remember one developer who actually used a DNS TXT record to store the latest version, which I always thought was an interesting idea.

- lights0123 5y agoThe worst that could happen is that someone isn't informed about a newer version, or the software attempts to download a newer version and receives a 404 instead. They're storing numbers, not URLs.
