Bug: Cannot Distinguish Between Different Versions Of Patch Bundles In Patches Selector

by ADMIN 88 views

Bug Description

If different versions of the same patch bundle are added, they are not distinguishable in the patch selection screen. This issue can lead to confusion and difficulties in managing patch bundles, especially when multiple versions are available.

Problematic Scenario

For instance, if the current latest version of ReVanced Patches is v5.22.0, and a user downloads ReVanced Patches v5.21.0 from the official GitHub repository and adds it to the Manager, they will encounter this issue. The patch selection screen will display both versions without any clear indication of the differences between them.

Possible Solution

One possible solution to this problem is to modify the patch selection screen to display the versions in a two-line format. This would allow users to easily distinguish between different versions of the same patch bundle. The updated design could include the version number and a brief description of the changes or updates in the second line.

Example of the Proposed Solution

As shown in the image below, the proposed solution would display the version number and a brief description of the changes or updates in the second line.
