Sublime Text 3: How to install specific version of package

Question

I'm installing this package via package control but it's not choosing the latest one.

It installs version 1.5.3 but i want 1.5.6. Is there any way to declare the version number explicitly while installing?

Answer 1

If you look at packages.json, you'll see that the two versions correlate to two different version of Sublime Text. 1.5.3 is for ST2 and ST3 builds less than or equal to 3083. 1.5.6 is for builds 3084 and greater. This is because 1.5.6 uses the new .sublime-syntax format, which was introduced in Build 3084. However, to get access to these new development builds, you must have a license.
