What is the "latest.txt" file?

Morning good people....

The WebClientRepeating example GETs the file "latest.txt" from www.arduino.cc.

If I browse to www.arduino.cc/latest.txt, my browser shows the text "0105", currently.

I'm just curious to know what this file is... is it just there so that experimenters have somewhere to go to test their GETs? Does it ever change? What's the significance of the content?

Anyone know?

Latest stable version I guess.

Remember the pre 1.0 versions were 4 digits ( 0022 ).
The IDE peeps might have once wanted to put in an "check for updates" feature.
Seems like it was updated around the time of the 105 release.

Of course! Duh... I should have twigged to that.

Anyway, it's very handy to have as a file to GET and display...
