Does anyone know how updating software versions work in this system? It would be nice if offline applications would work the same way as the HTML5 app cache.

The autoupdate system compares versions to determine whether an installed extension needs to be updated. If the published extension has a newer version string than the installed extension, then the extension is automatically updated.
