WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).
Currently, there is the concept of two different versions
1) The Marketing Version
2) The DisplayVersion
Guidance has been to use PackageVersion as the marketing version and using the AppsAndFeaturesEntries to define the DisplayVersion when it differs from the marketing version.
I propose adding a new manifest field MarketingVersion - which would allow the version to be arbitrary and duplicative while still retaining a semantic version for PackageVersion
