kirby not updating

[jorgemartins]

Hi, kirby was recently updated to 2.5.8 but when I run: npm run kirby:update

I get: 🕛 [Kirby Updater] Nothing to update.

and on the panel still says Kirby version: 2.5.7

thanks.

As of today, the script used to update Kirby is pretty basic, and does not include any type of diffing algo. In other word, npm run kirby:update acts as a npm install.

If you want to update to the latest version anyway, you can force update with :

npm run kirby:update -- -f

^{Note that this will update all your Kirby modules, not only the Kirby Core}

As said before, we plan to soon release our Kirby Package Manager as its own module, with a proper version managing, diffing, selective update, and all the features you'd expect for a package manager.

We'll keep you updated when the module is released.
