Drupal follows the major.minor numbering scheme, rather than decimal notation. Therefore releases should be called
...
7.x-1.7
7.x-1.8
7.x-1.9
7.x-1.10
7.x-1.11
...
7.x-1.79
7.x-1.80
7.x-1.81
...
By releasing 1.81, you have effectively skipped versions 1.9 to 1.80 (one point eighty). If you were to release the next version as 1.9, then users would not be told about it because Drupal would think it was an earlier version that 1.81.
I don't know if this can be fixed as such, other than making sure future releases are all greater than 81 (i.e. next release would be 7.x-1.82, not 7.x-1.9).

idflood commentedAh right, good catch. Too bad I did this mistake first but it should not be too bad. Hopefully the next major version will be 2.x. So the good thing is that it let many minor versions for maintenance fixes and small update to the 1.x branch.
I will let this issue opened to not forget about this mistake.
