They're maddening!

So the launcher tells me that 1.4.7 was released recently: Great! Except it doesn't show up here:

http://www.creeperrepo.net/FTB2/maven/net/ftb/FTB_Launcher/maven-metadata.xml
http://www.creeperrepo.net/FTB2/maven/net/ftb/FTB_Launcher/
http://new.creeperrepo.net/FTB2/static/newversion.xml
http://www.creeperrepo.net/FTB2/static/version.xml

Which is where new versions usually end up.

The Github project does not utilize the 'release' function, so I can't look there.

The 'News' portion of the main site never mentions version increments, and the 'Recent Changes' section of the Launcher never has it either. In fact, it currently has 10407 as the current version!

All in all, this is a big headache: Why are there so many different avenues of getting wrong or outdated information?

regarding the version listed on the changelog page as 10407.. that is 1.4.7 encoded as a number and is an artifact of older launcher versions and is used to keep compatibility

Partially fixed now. Problems with unsynced servers. Proper fix pending.
