I replied with regard to this off-list directly to Matt, since I was
having some mailer issues. Since I can now post to the list properly
(yay), I suppose I should let everyone in on what that message was. :)

I'm having similar issues -- everything should be set up properly (at
least, it all shows up correctly on wordpress.org), but it's just not
showing any update for me in 2.3 RC1.

Is the plugin's "tested up to", or other data used to determine
upgrade-ability? Is there some better documentation on how author's are
supposed to integrate with this functionality (I haven't found any)

http://svn.wp-plugins.org/in-series/trunk/readme.txt (refers to 3.0.6)
http://svn.wp-plugins.org/in-series/tags/3.0.4 (non-updated test)
http://svn.wp-plugins.org/in-series/tags/3.0.6 (latest version)
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/in-series/ (reports 3.0.6)

Repro:

* Install In Series 3.0.4 on WP 2.3 RC1
* View the plugin admin page

Expect:
 The fact that there is an update should show up.

Actual:
 No update notification is presented.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
