Android market "Whats new in version xyz" - information

Question

Hi there,

While browsing through various apps in the market, I noticed that there's a "New in version xyz: ... " text, just above the number of downloads and comments. Did I miss something, or is there a dedicated field to provide this kind of information while uploading a new version of your app in the market instead of just changing your application description?

Thanks

Edit: Here a picture to clarify what I'm talking about:

Answer 1

That's the developer overstuffing the versionName name field in the manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.example.foomatic"
      android:versionCode="2"
      android:versionName="1.02 Fixed inaccurate frobnostication"
>
...etc...

Not great practice, but it doesn't chew up any of the limited number of characters available in the description.
