${version} is not a pattern, your thing will be ${name}4.3 for example.
So if the newest version available, the regex will not match and port  
will be unable to tell the user a new version is available or not.

I try to as precise as possible in my livechecks, with something  
like: (\d+(?:\.\d+)*)
