Leave a note when found. This will help in early detection of incorrect use of package fix version notation when not required.

@ferventcoder I'm a little curious on this one, how would you plan for this to work? Download the binary file and check if file version matches the package version? I've seen quite a few times in the past that the file version of an installer isn't always incremented to match the software version (same goes for the program itself). Or do you plan to only check for this when a package fix notation is used?

It's a note - and it's not exactly easy to implement this one.

I didn't mean on how it was meant to be displayed to mods/users (in this case as a note). But rather on how the detection itself would possibly work.

That's to be determined still :D
