Suggestion: change version number when MAZIzone upgraded #144

Closed mgaved closed 6 years ago

mgaved commented 6 years ago

I have a MAZIzone v2.5.6. It is identified as 2.5.6 in the bottom left black bar in the Admin interface, and on the admin MAZI zone Dashboard, MAZI Zone Version box (http://portal.mazizone.eu/admin_dashboard)

It notes updates are available. I go to Admin drop down, Check for Updates, I am told there are updates. I run these. The MAZIzone restarts. When I go back in, it is still identified as 2.5.6 in the bottom left black bar in the Admin interface, and on the admin MAZI zone Dashboard, MAZI Zone Version box (http://portal.mazizone.eu/admin_dashboard) .

Suggestion: if an upgrade has taken place, change the version number of the MAZIzone. To do an update and not change the version number may confuse the end user admin, and also make it more difficult to problem shoot ("which version of version 2.5.6 do you have?")

This could be another decimal incremental, e.g. v2.5.6.1, v2.5.6.2, etc.

Hi,

there are no other releases than the ones reported here.

The new updates you might see occasionally are new translations to other languages from the Translatewiki platform who are pushing in our master repository (this is their default policy). We are in contact with them to change this, not to confuse our users.

Thanks! I think if we are asking an admin to "check for updates" and then they are asked to wait while an update happens, and restart their MAZIzone, then we should give them an account of what has happened to their MAZIzone.

At the moment, they are informed an update is available and encouraged to install it, but not given information in advance of what that update is, then asked to restart their MAZIzone, and afterwards not given any information about what has happened (what was contained within the update).

Suggestion: all updates should be supported by information of what will be provided, or at least, what has been installed.

Currently I am asked to have faith in a blind process "There is an update available. Please use the button below to start the update process.".

If the majority of the updates are adding a language translation, then a default message could be provided with this information e.g. "A new language translation is now ready for you".

I tell you again that I agree that we need to avoid updating mazizones and not reflecting this in the name of the version, but as I already told you this is because of the Translatewiki platform policy and we are in contact with them to resolve it.

No need for further messages. We are reporting new features (including integration of new languages) of each version in the Wiki as you know.
