Just discovered that none of my version.nfo files work in CMSimple 4
Because CMSimple 4 has no trim to the last value of the version.nfo, which contains URL to the author's site.
I discovered that my html-editor had the preset: Add CR+LF to EOF, and therefore all my version.nfo files end with CR + LF. CMSimple 4 cannot handle that. But it is no problem in Holger's hi_updatecheck.
Incompatibility of CMSimple 4
Re: Incompatibility of CMSimple 4
It might be more appropriate to request this relaxed syntax on http://cmsimple.org/forum/.
Anyway, the version.nfo files are basically CSV files, and there is no standard regarding those. RFC 4180 is only informational, unfortunately, and it states:
OTOH, Postel's law comes to mind.

For the sake of compatibility, I suggest you change the configuration of your editor, and enter a linebreak manually after the last line of any file where that is appropriate. Personally, I prefer to have a linebreak (usually a newline) to be the last character of any text file, but typing it in is just a single keystroke, so I can live with it (actually I'm doing it this way).The last record in the file may or may not have an ending line break.

PS: I edit the .nfo files with the standard editor of Windows. I have configured my Windows Explorer to open .nfo files automatically in the Windows editor by opening from Windows Explorer.
