    Running local tests worked perfect, but there seem to be some funny things going on in one of my installs, as well as one someone else is running. I’ve disabled the addon from the repo until I find out what’s going on. If you want to help testing, I’ve added the package to this post. The issues seem to occur for very specific cases only (see a few posts down) so it is back in the repo with a fix coming up hopefully tonight.

    Update
    One of the issues that seemed to have sneaked in that is affecting one of my own installs: where you have used a content type that no longer exists, the script gets a fatal error looking up its name. https://github.com/Mark-H/VersionX/issues/#issue/39

    Something else that has been reported is the german translation giving an error.

    • Fixed the bug I was having on Github: https://github.com/Mark-H/VersionX/commit/a368bb69fbf07a2e066cfa21e54e617cdea4fd48

      Another problem I was having was related to the package manager and wrong folder permissions (moved servers few weeks back and didn’t use it since) and seems to have been fixed.

      The problem with the german language pack seems to be related to encoding. This has been fixed for the German lexicon on Github, but will be checking all other languages for the same issue tonight.

      I’ve also added a parameter to the javascript being loaded in the CMP to get rid of caching issues on upgrade.


      After work I’ll release a fix (alpha5) for these issues encountered. If you only use the english lexicon and never messed around with new content types you shouldn’t have problems with alpha4.
