Addon manager version numbers

Post by Olav »

Hello,

Behold the addon manager in FreeCAD (0.20) today:

There are three updates available, which is great (I love updates). However the version numbers displayed for the available updates are the same as for the installed addons. After applying updates and restarting FreeCAD the versions of the updated addons don't seem to have changed:

However there are new version numbers for two of the updated addons (Curves, Fasteners) in the "About" info. For A2Plus the version number remains the same:

I'm no expert but I feel something funny is going on here. Can anyone confirm?
