Hi Stephen, apologies for the problems caused. I looked into the octave source and it automatically converts "x.y" to "x.y.0" (see function fix_version in scripts/pkg/private/pkg.m lines 1790-1811). Even though it has this mechanism to correct for this cases, it also means that it x.y should not be considered a valid version. I was not aware of it. I'll try to make sure that packages are released according to it from now on.
