Starting from version v4.4.1 of this plugin, there is a discrepancy between the naming of the version in the moodle.org plugin database , the Git-Tag used and what the version.php has stored in $plugin->release. This leads to irritation when comparing installed plugins from your Moodle instance (i.e. from "Plugins Overview") with available versions in the plugin DB.

The version number from $plugin->version seems to be the only reliable information in this case. I don't know whether fixing this for released versions is viable, but for future versions it would be highly appreciated to make this information consistent across moodle.org, the Git-Tag and especially the string in $plugin->release, which is displayed in the Moodle Plugins Overview.
