The Marker app’s version is indicated as 2023.05.02 (all channels). But when installed, the “about” info indicates it’s actually the 2020.04.04 version (any channel).
I tested a few things and can confirm this is indeed an old version.
I don’t know if it’s related, but the author of the snap, soumyaDghosh does regularly, at least once per day, a " Push new tag update to stable branch" action. I’m not familiar with snap management, and I don’t know if this is legit, just found it a bit strange. He does that for other snaps on github as well.
So, is it legit that I’m a little worried ? Does this wrong labeling imply some security issues, or is it just a mistake from the maintainer’s part?
And all worries set aside, I’d really like to have the latest version of Marker.
Don’t worry, it’s the upstream messing with the version. So, to some extent keep the versioing proper, I showed the version of the app in the store as 2023.05.02 which is their latest release.
Thanks for clarifying it’s a problem with upstream. I can see it now, as it’s also the case on the ppa version. I also tried the flatpak version, and strangely enough the about page was right, which initially made me think it wasn’t an upstream problem.
