Problem with plugin directory

Hello,
my friend is author of the plugin blipbot ( http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/blipbot/ ). Actually, the newest version is 1.26 but on plugin’s page in sidebar is still 1.21. He’s uploading plugin by the method on http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2007/06/17/listing-your-plugin-at-the-wordpressorg-plugin-directory/
Why the plugin’s version isn’t actual?
