Question about automated updates (4.70) by T-PO on 08-18-2008 at 03:05 PM

Hello,

Today I used the /checkupdates functionality of 4.70. It showed that there was an upgrade available for the Answering Machine Plus-script (2.70).

Because I like this script a lot I downloaded the upgrade immediately...

However, after upgrading, I lost all my answers and the script seemed not to work properly...

After looking into the scriptdatabase it seems that you have to do some work before upgrading this script...but using the automated update functionality, this information is not provided...
Also it is not clear what has been changed for the update...

Is it possible to add some text functionality to the automated update process/screen e.g. you can click an information button where the developer can add some additional texts/information concerning the update?

Hope this is clear...

Regards,

T-PO

Well, this is a very good suggestion which would be very useful. I suggest that skins and scripts could have something like a "Change Log" file which the update system could read and display. It is possible since some scripts like "Countdown Live" already have that on their own update system so it can be done. :)
