Description
My opinion is that the plugin version should be immediately visible when browsing the new plugin cards. I realize this may be a bit of a subjective issue, however I find that plugin version is something I want obviously displayed in every type of plugin view. It seems like a common bit of info users might like to see right off the bat, and takes up almost no screen real estate.
Can I ask: why the decision to remove version number?
If you do consider adding version number back into the install cards, here are two possible ideas for how to do it:

I agree with @johnbillion, Bringing Last Updated, WordPress version compatibility, and plugin ratings to prominence over the plugin version is the right way to go. Closing at wontfix.


Personally, I disagree. I think the plugin number should be less prominent in the Plugin Directory than it is now. There's no need to bring this prominence onto this screen.
The version number is very visible in the modal that appears when you click the 'More Details' link for a plugin.
