Wrong version number in the asset metadata?

I just started using the excellent Assets Manager application to keep track of my Unity assets, and noticed that the version of my latest Amplify Color reported by that application is 1.6.6. When I open the "Amplify Color.unitypackage" file in a text editor I see the following metadata:

Code: Select all
{"link":{"id":"1894","type":"content"},"unity_version":"5.6.0f3","pubdate":"15 Jul 2018","version":"1.6.6","upload_id":"255910","version_id":"267297","category":{"id":"148","label":"Shaders/Fullscreen & Camera Effects"},"id":"1894","title":"Amplify Color","publisher":{"id":"707","label":"Amplify Creations"}}


It looks like I have the latest version, since it was published on July 15th and indicates Unity 5.6 as the earliest compatible Unity version, but the version number is clearly shown as 1.6.6, whereas the Asset Store says that the latest version is 1.8.0.

Is the metadata reporting the wrong version number?

Thank you for reporting the issue, we'll pass it on to our developers.

In any case, you can confirm your package version under Window > Amplify Color > About.

Be sure to let us know if you have any additional questions.

Excellent, good to know! I have done this and verified that the version that "About" reports is 1.8.0 while the file meta data says 1.6.6. Thanks, this should be a relatively easy fix for the developers ;-)
