Removes Dataverse v3.4.6.2 due to the issue reported in pkp/pkp-lib#13608, where updating the plugin can incorrectly overwrite the recorded OJS core version with the plugin version.

Adds v3.4.8.3, the latest Dataverse release for OJS and OPS 3.4. This release avoids the reported issue by removing the version attribute from the <install> tag in upgrade.xml, preventing the OJS 3.4 installer from recording the plugin version as the core version.

Migrations continue to run, and the plugin version remains defined in version.xml. This change prevents new occurrences but does not repair existing affected records in the versions table.

@thiagolepidus, I was expecting to see a new release of the plugin with just a single-line change to resolve this issue, but it appears there are lots of other changes included as well...

Could you either:

  • build a 3.4.6.3 that is just 3.4.6.2 plus the one-line upgrade.xml change, or
  • just drop 3.4.6.2's compatibility for now (rather than removing the plugin entirely), and add a new release for 3.4.6-3 for the new functionality?

@asmecher There are newer plugin releases after 3.4.6.2, which explains the additional changes in the previously proposed release.
I’ve now replaced it with 3.4.6.3, based on 3.4.6.2 with only the removal of the version attribute from in upgrade.xml, as you suggested.
