That is the correct behaviour so far, as the version 2.5.0-rc1 is the latest released version on github.
The problem before was that updater showed the rc-version even if a pl-version (with same number) existed. This is not the fact now, because there is currently no pl-version. If this is published, updater will indeed show the pl and not the rc version then (I hope ).

At the moment there is the situation, that 2.4.3-pl also is available, which is not shown by updater, because 2.5.x is considered higher. Of course, a pl-patch would be preferrable to be shown than a rc-minor here!

That's why the next version of updater will show all available update versions and also have options not to show/notify release candidates (rc) / only show stable versions.

Will be released the next days... [ed. note: last edited this post 8 years, 1 month ago.]

Fantastic. Thanks for a great Extra!

Hi inreti. Great extra.

You might think about adding a "pl_only" property. It's easy to use strpos() to reject any version without '-pl' in the version name and that would keep the 2.5.0-rc version from showing for people who only want to upgrade to pl versions.

Proud to announce the next version 0.3.8-beta of Updater.

New in this version:

Updater now checks for multiple available update versions for the core and displays them in the widget. You can set 2 filters for release level and version level in system settings, e.g. to check only for stable patch updates to your current version. Default setting here is to show stable minor and patch updates.

This fixes the behaviour of Updater 0.3.7 where core 2.5.0-rc1 was displayed when the stable (and therefore more preferrable) 2.4.3-pl also was available.

Changing the check levels does not have immediate effect on the widget output, you will have to wait for the next cache update according to your settings. To have it display immediately, delete cache/updater-core folder and refresh your dashboard then.

After upgrade to 0.3.8 getting this error:

Me Too.

I'm seeing about 10 instances in the Modx error log over the last three days.

It's a known bug and has been fixed, the updated version should be released soon.

Just curious, was this ever released? I haven't seen it and my error logs are filling up.

Hey Terry, work is in progress. Unfortunately I have some other projects to finish...
