Lucee Extensions and 'updates available'

dev support
1

Just wondering if someone can look at the versioning system for extensions.

I’m getting update notiifcations in the admin for extensions that are minimum v7.0 when I have 6… (I’d use 7 if all my dev machines could install it, but win11 not allowing the upgrade and ignoring it when in lib also) anywya… This is compounding a bigger long term bug with exension (not application) versions and alerting new versions that are in beta or snapshot.

Can the system only report versions that are:

  1. Compatible with version installed
  2. Full version

For a while now I get alerts that new versions are available that are snapshots and prerelease, when I only want to see full versions and anything else is NOT an error or alertable.

Perhaps a global setting for extension alerts.

Can ‘applications’ be renamed to Extensions finally?? It’s weird that you call an extension an application when it’s not an application and is listed under Extensions heading?? So weird.

I know, it’s on my long list of things to work on, alas there’s only one of me

deploying this fix now, the extension provider will filter out extension versions which require a newer version than you have currently installed, i.e. extensions which require 7

The downloads page now has a required version tooltip for each of the extension versions listed (when applicable)

Well done mate, another large effort. nice work. #champion

Any way we can set a checkbox somewhere to select which one or more of the ‘releases/rc+beta/snapshots’ we want that flat to trigger on?

So if we have a production server, (or have dev setup to echo prod) we might only want to get notifications of releases, not others?? (same with front page notifications)
