Auto-updating between versions

[TPS]

I think this is some weird standard for userscripts that I never understood (is it meant for security?), but this 1 doesn't update properly, either, presumably because of the version being embedded in the path. Could there be additionally a canonical address (like https://userscripts.adtidy.org/beta/popup-blocker/latest/popupblocker.user.js or https://userscripts.adtidy.org/release/popup-blocker/latest/popupblocker.user.js) that'd actually allow auto-updating to work?

Actually, there are such links. And you can find them in the readme section of https://github.com/AdguardTeam/PopupBlocker#installation. The userscript would be updated along with the filters. Please feel free to reopen this issue if you have other questions.

@maximtop This seems correct ifF y'all stay @ v2.5.x .… What happens when you change the version or URL convention?

[maximtop]

We would specify a new link in the manifest for updates.

See, that's the point of a canonical link. Just like for the filter lists, a permanent link, irrelevant of version, is useful to avoid having to update settings.

In case of any changes to the version, we will update the link in the next version of the Popup Blocker, so users won't have to manually update anything.
