As reported by @knabar and from our own experience, it's very easy for users (admins) to forget to update the script on the server to match the currently-installed version of the web app.
This can lead to unexplained errors or missing features when exporting figures.
Unfortunately the OMERO scripts API doesn't provide a way to get the version of an installed script.
However, it is possible to use the OMERO API to load the script text itself.
One option could be:
include the release version of figure within the export script in some way that can be easily parsed from the file.
this can be updated automatically with bump2version on release
In the omero_figure views.py or utils.py we could add a def check_script_version(conn) that would load the first part of the script and parse out the version and compare it to the current release version.
This function could be re-used by other tools if needed e.g. pathviewer
