1.4-2 is different from 1.4.2 - a dash is different from a period. Basically, the "-2" and "-3" refer to different builds of the same version of Maemo Mapper.

1.4.2-2 is the "1.4.2" version of Maemo Mapper, built for the 770 (maemo 2).
1.4.2-3 is the "1.4.2" version of Maemo Mapper, built for the N800 (maemo 3).
1.4-2 is the "1.4" version of Maemo Mapper, built for the 770(maemo 2).
1.4-3 is the "1.4" version of Maemo Mapper, built for the N800 (maemo 3).

So, your 1.4-3 is an older version than 1.4.2 (which is the generic name - 1.4.2-3 is the N800 build).

Confusing, I know, but since the 770 and N800 use the same architecture name ("armel"), I can't use the architecture to distinguish between the two builds (like I can between "armel" and "i386"), so I have to insert something into the version number. I suppose "1.4.2-maemo2" would be more descriptive...
