And I'm not really sure which of the questions you are referring to ;)

1) Will there be an option for having several downloads for an app, each 
supporting different ownCloud versions, and/or will you be able to set one 
download as supporting several ownCloud versions?

2) There have been a lot of talks both on the ML and on IRC on what the 
"require" element actually means. Now it means that it has to match the 
(internal) version exactly, which would effectively void the upcoming 
apps.owncloud.com functionality of supporting several versions. Suggestions 
have been made to make it mean that it requires *at least* the specified 
version, or that we would need additional/alternative tags for this.
I haven't seen any decisions being made on this (I might have missed it?), and 
since it is one of the discussion subjects for the dev meeting, I assumed a 
decision would be made then.
