Sort of unrelated to what you're asking, but it looks like you've got downloads of all the versions of your app, not just the latest, and I'm wondering how you're doing that. (I just switched to Butler and I can't figure out how to show old versions for download.)

Are you just creating a new "channel" for every version of the game? It might be that you have to do that, but it would feel silly to do so as you're then breaking the whole point of channels which is to provide a single release item that gets updated with new versions whenever they come out. I wish there was a way to let users download old versions without having to create a new channel for each version.

In the example I showed yes, I made a different channel for the jam release (frozen version) and post-jam update (will be regularly updated - hopefully).

But I’m not creating a new channel for every version. For instance, when I release v0.6.0 it will override the v0.5.0, it’s really just for the jam release (or an important save-breaking change) that I do that.

Otherwise no, old versions are lost (https://itch.freezing.top/t/184990/can-i-download-older-versions-of-the-game, 7 years old but I don’t see a change in the interface so far), it could be a feature request though. For instance, add option to preserve previous version to butler, and show the list of preserved versions in itch client / game page “Show all versions” details?
