[SOFTWARE-5.00.702] /checkupdates command by mynetx on 03-14-2011 at 06:35 PM

On Messenger Plus! 5.00.702, the /checkupdates command does not trigger the auto-update to Plus! 5.01.706. Instead, this dialog box appears:

quote:

I can confirm this bug :tongue:

I also tried in VM (Windows XP Service Pack 3 (5.1.2600), Windows Live Messenger 14.0.0416) and upgraded Plus! from 4.90.0.392  to 5.00.0.691 and nicely detected latest version (5.01.0.706) though It doesn't detect 5.01.0.706 from 5.00.0.702

Exactly, this was what I meant. Aren’t the final bugfixes reason enough?

I'll notify the devs, thanks :)

As far as I can tell the 5706 simply hasn't been pushed to the auto-update system (yet). Not sure how you could get your 5691 to detect 5706?

Edit: okay never mind, the update system actually advertises 5702 but the setup file is 5706, hahahaha '-_-

Also note that the /checkupdates command isn't exactly the same as a scheduled auto-update, Plus! 5 hasn't been published (at all) through auto-update yet. Just FYI :)

http://download.msgpluslive.net/update/autoupdate.php
http://download.msgpluslive.net/update/manualupdate.php

Both auto-update and manual update (/checkupdates) claim 5.00.0.702 is the latest version, but the file which gets downloaded is actually 5.01.0.706. This explains why you would get 5706 when you do /checkupdates on any version older than 5702.

BTW, shouldn't the first number on http://download.msgpluslive.net/update/autoupdate.php be 5702 (or 5706, but at least the same as manualupdate.php)?

EDIT: I'm slow :p

It will, when we decide to go for mass-auto-update ;)

manualupdate.php should say 5706 though, and also should return a properly named link to a 706 build :-/

Do I hear screw-ups again?
(Sorry for the harsh language, but, yeah, ....)


The file autoupdate.php has been updated today apparently.

However, there are some strange inconsistancies in it:

quote:
<f>
<b>5702</b>
<v>5.01.0.706</v>
<u>http://mirror10.msgpluslive.net/20101012/PrevUpdate/MsgPlusLive-490.exe</u>

</n>

</f>
1) 5702? Shouldn't that be 5706?

2) http://mirror10.msgpluslive.net/20101012/PrevUpda...sgPlusLive-490.exe ? Errr... 4.90??? :|
And it isn't even the latest 4.90 version for that matter (eg: signed by Patchou).

3) 20100801? Shouldn't that be 20110308?

4) http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/?updprompt=1
results in a 404 Page not found error, aka:
http://www.msgplus.net/Home?aspxerrorpath=/download/

Looks more like a downgrade to me than an upgrade.... :/


Note: manualupdate.php is indeed not yet up-to-date either (referring to 5.0.702 file version and link)
RE: [SOFTWARE-5.00.702] /checkupdates command by CookieRevised on 03-17-2011 at 11:09 PM

Update: autoupdate.php was briefly restored to previous state yesterday (in essence autoupdate was disabled again), but it is now back to the erroneous version shown above.

RE: [SOFTWARE-5.00.702] /checkupdates command by CookieRevised on 03-21-2011 at 04:17 PM

bump...

autoupdate.php and manualupdate.php is still beeped up and people start to complain why they don't get the update notifications....

The returned data of autoupdate.php switches randomly between:
    <b>5702</b>
    <v>5.01.0.706</v> 
and
    <b>4392</b>
    <v>5.00.0.702</v>

Not to mention that if the mp parameter points to a lower version than 4.90, more screwups are present in the returned data.

Also the 'upgrade now' link on the page
http://pages.msgpluslive.net/msgplus_download_4_page/?ref=MsgPlusAlert
(= link you get in that returned data from autoupdate.php) points to a wrong URL.

Also the returned data from manualupdate.php is still wrong!

So, Yuna, how hard can it be to fix those issues for crying out loud?
