Description athompson 2007-05-21 15:02:54 UTC 
the date that a plugin was built is often very useful for determining how
relevant the plugin still is.  how about including the build date as a tooltip
for the installed/available version number cells?  or in the cells themselves?

rationale: 3rd-party plugin repositories may not be as diligent in ensuring
their listed plugins are up to date.
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-05-21 15:11:59 UTC 
I'm wonder about this RFE also I'm guessing that build date is useful rather
that specification version because a ability to sort by date, show newest, etc.
If time  allow me I would like to impl. in NB6 or next release after.
