Extension not updating

[hatamiarash7]

Hello

There seems to be a problem with the extension release process, or I've misunderstood.

Currently, when I use DuckDB v1.4.0, the latest version of the netquack extension it downloads is 1.4.0, and it seems that it does not support newer releases (The latest version is 1.8.0, for which I opened a PR yesterday).

But when I use DuckDB 1.4.4, this problem does not exist, and the latest version of the extension is downloaded and installed.

---

Is this behavior correct? How can I publish the extension for all versions of DuckDB so users can use it on older versions without having to update?

The extensions are downloaded from this address:

http://community-extensions.duckdb.org/<duckdb version>/linux_amd64/<extension name>.duckdb_extension.gz

which will vary based on the version. So how can you develop an extension for all versions?

It seems that other users are also complaining 😃

Good question. I can't figure out why I'm unable to use the http_client extension on v1.5.0. It makes upgrading DuckDB questionable if the extensions we rely on aren't there.
