appdb issue: can't search for apps platinum on 1.0.x!

2009-02-25 Thread Dan Kegel
Our currently released version is 1.0, but the appdb's browse feature acts as if that version no longer exists. This will seriously confuse newcomers who are using the 1.0.1 version (e.g. anybody who installs a fresh copy of Ubuntu!). To fix this, we should add 1.0 (or 1.0.1) back into the search
