We have two versioning schemas currently. A public one, which is in format 
YY.MM (current is 19.08), and an internal schema, which is in format 5.xx 
(5.12 maps to 19.08 public). The version numbers are shared for all KDE PIM 
packages.

The EWS connector is part of the kdepim-runtime package for a while now, so 
whatever version is your kdepim-runtime package, the same version is your EWS 
connector. You mentioned that you have 5.11.3, which maps to  19.04.3, which 
is correct, since F31 ships PIM 19.04.

Hth,
Dan
