Can't download specific versions of EDD-hosted plugins #10

Closed chrisvanpatten closed 5 years ago

chrisvanpatten commented 5 years ago

While working on my PR (#9) I noticed that the behaviour around EDD-hosted plugins is a little confusing.

It turns out, the EDD Licensing API check_version endpoint only returns the latest version of a plugin.

I believe, generally, the version parameter is ignored or only used for analytics/tracking purposes.

Caveat: It's possible that some EDD installs were customised to allow downloading older versions, but I have tested a few different EDD sites for plugins I own, and haven't been able to find any that do.

Hey @chrisvanpatten that's right, this is also a problem with Gravity Forms.

For some reason, they've chosen not to add in this feature! I'm updating the README file of this repository to reflect this.
