PCM: How to update packages?

A while back I opened a FR for PCM to check for new packages. I completely forgot about this but it looks like it was implemented in version 7.

However checking today I see there are a few updates to some of the packages I have installed and none of them are showing the latest version (or allowing me up update)

Is there something I’m missing? Is this a bug?

For example I have KiKit version 1.1.0 and Interactive Html BOM 2.6.0 installed, and the latest versions are 1.3.0 and 2.7.0

I’ve tried the fresh button but it still doesn’t pick up the latest version.

Interactive Html Bom 2.7.0 is on it’s way to PCM repository, it was released just yesterday Bump InteractiveHtmlBom to v2.7.0, add keep_on_update (!230) · Merge requests · KiCad / KiCad Addons / Package Metadata · GitLab

In case of KiKit I think the plugin part is not updated because it is unchanged, the changes in v1.2 and v1.3 are in the package that you install via pip. So to get the latest version you need to update the pip package.

Thanks, that would explain it.
