(If you check the app web sites, all the listed version numbers have now been superseded, although your distro may not have packaged them yet.)
However, the apps test is not really very good. It only covers a handful of apps, and maintaining version numbers is pretty much impossible. Whilst the app itself may change its version number, a distro/supplier may only increment their patch level number, not the main version number. Personally I disable the apps test as it seems sort of useless.
