extensions versions difference when using upgrade vs fresh install

[llegrand]

Hello,   still working on getting my upgrades to function properly

I am attaching a couple of files with the differences in versions of some of the extensions -  payments and shipping. 

The first column reports the versions showing in an installation that was started as 1.1.9,  upgraded to 1.2.0 using the upgrade link within admin panel. Then it was upgraded to 1.2.1 using the upgrade key within admin panel again.

the second column reports the versions showing in a fresh 1.2.1 version installed via Softaculous.

I have needed to manually install the correct extension versions in my upgrades to get them to work properly.   I am assuming others may have some of these issues also.

So my question is,  if I  assume the versions that have changed numbers also have some code changes, if this is correct then why do the older versions not get updated with the update routine?

Thanks.

We already plan to improve our upgrade package generator after release 1.2.2.
I added to my todo-list all bugs that you found.

Thanks a lot!
