Differences between git clone and composer require versions?

[xtremevision]

Hi,

I have version 3.6 installed via composer for Magento 2.4.6-p2 open source. I am getting these type of errors:

[16-May-2024 18:54:36 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in vendor/consolibyte/quickbooks/QuickBooks/Utilities.php on line 90

It's all to with using {$i} or {0} instead of [$i] and [0] notation. So I forked the repo wanting to fix everything. However, the cloned version has only a couple of occurances that need fixing, whereas the composer version has a ton of them.

I would expect both versions to be identical. Is there an explanation for the differences?

Thanks,
Michael.
