Also time when it was installed would be nice to know.
I've written a script to tell you what repository an installed package is currently in. For install time you'd have to look at the timestamps on the relevant metadata files in /var/lib/dpkg/info.

Another way to learn about newly released app is through My-maemo.com. However, I am not sure if the info ever get updated after the release of an app.

No, all the apps there should be from the main maemo.org repository. If you've got -devel or -testing enabled then you may have updated to a version from there though.

According to http://maemo.org/packages/view/batterygraph/ version 0.3.0 reached stable yesterday, and 0.2.2 was in there from early March. I've no idea why you're failing to find it in App Manager.

Front page of the App. Manager there should be a big "Update" button. This refreshes the Application database on your device (which is needed if you want to install a brand new app).
