Hi all, IIRC Marcin isn't correct here, at least not in general. Let me please explain why I think so (and that's the reason why I follow up here for now and not on [EMAIL PROTECTED] as suggested).
The version number must be a string that contains digits and separators (dots) so that newer versions can be detected by simple numerical comparisons. I would be very surprised if e.g. OOo couldn't recognize that 1.0.1 is newer than 1.0.0. But to make sure I will ask the experts and report. True is that newer versions of a dictionary should stick to the versioning system the extension uses. Most of the bundled dictionaries indeed have the versioning schema YYYYMMDD. I chose that because it makes finding version numbers easier, but I did that only for all dictionaries we already had collected so far. Dictionaries that have been created later from already existing extensions have taken over the versioning schema used in the extensions in the repository. IIRC these were the French, German dictionaries, perhaps the same was true for Galician and Vietnamese (I don't remember exactly, sorry). So to be on the safe side: if you were going to provide an update in our extensions repository, you should have a look on the versioning schema of the bundled extension and increase the version number in a way that OOo understands it and that makes sense to you. I will post the same text to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we should continue there as suggested by Sophie.
