looks like the

pact-plugin.json

version bump was missed?

~/.pact/bin/pact-plugin-cli install <https://github.com/pactflow/pact-protobuf-plugin/releases/tag/v-0.3.0>
Installing plugin protobuf version 0.2.6
Downloaded <https://github.com/pactflow/pact-protobuf-plugin/releases/download/v-0.3.0/pact-protobuf-plugin-linux-x86_64.gz> to /home/dev/.pact/plugins/protobuf-0.2.6/pact-protobuf-plugin-linux-x86_64.gz

I'm so sorry about that! I have fixed the manifest.

no worries - just confused me for about 15m when i upgraded and the cli was still claiming 0.2.6 🤣
