[Logic] LOGic 6 Updates - Which version(s) is online?

Dennis et all:
If my memory is correct, I recall online LOGic updates always having the
same (or similar) file name format:
"logic6update". I don't know about others, but on more than one occassion I
have wondered just which version is inside these downloads.
Doesn't it make sense to embed the version number into the file name?
Wouldn't it be easier for users to see just which update is available? and
thereby let users know whether they have already downloaded it?
If I download the latest (and do so perhaps redundantly!) and then look at
its contents, NOTHING says which version is included - again no file name
with version, no readme file. (If the executable download includes the
version in its file name, then its contents are not important to the user
and its file names could remain a constant to make it easier for the install
program.)
Relying on "the latest one, is the one that's online" is not as helpful (and
certainly not as explicit) as having the version number in the filename.
Food for thought.
