[Sparkle] Problem comparing Versions

Hi there,

I'm having a Problem, as Sparkle seems unable to see that version  
2.0.2 is newer than 2.0.1.

We are using Sparkle 1.1 which seems to be the latest released Version  
(oddly, I could only find links to the beta of 1.5 on the homepage)

And this is the reduction that causes the Problem.

This can be worked around by only having the entry for version 2.0.2 -  
but I'd still like to know whats going on there.

Any Idea what is causing this?

Thanks a lot,
cu Martin

p.s.: When is 1.5 going to be final? We'd really like to try it out,  
once it hits final.
