Package-wise, application description has been extended, during the build phase we followed the
recommended commands from the installation guide, and we removed the inclusion of plugins:
they're not shipped anymore since you can easily download them via Options window, or include

Event Timeline
I don't know why old release number is 2 instead of (correctly) 3, anyway 4 is OK as a new release number.
It means you don't have the latest git (release 3 was April 14) so the patch won't apply. Release 3 is definitely the latest git (and what I have on my system), so this needs to be fixed up.

Is this true and tested? Cause this is the reason I haven't updated the package, dropping the plugins is a bit of a regression.

It's true:

It's not a regression, plugins are still here, they just don't come shipped with the package anymore, you can install them via a GUI. Plus, they're now installed in ~/.config/MusicBrainz/picard
Let me know: when you let a patch idle it's because you forgot about it or you're busy? ?
I'm joking, but still the current Picard version is really old and an update is ready here.
