Description of the new feature/enhancement

Write a short introduce and latest version number in "What's new in this version" of Windows Store.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Windows Store doesn't show App's version number or last update time due to no obvious reason. When I try to install Windows Terminal from the store, I can only see the release date of the app is 6/21/2019. It makes me doubt if the version in the store is latest.

It will be very helpful to include a short descriptions and current version number in "What's new in this release", so users like me can know if it's actively maintained easily and whether to install from Github release page instead.

It maybe off the topic as it's not caused by your (awesome) app. Sorry to bother, but it's certainly an issue to the new users.

Oh, gladly. I forgot that the store doesn’t show the version in any prominent place. Thanks!

I’m assigning myself with the note, “put this into our release engineering documentation.” After that, I’ll close this out.
