In order to reproduce the bug: [1] Start LibreOffice 5.1.0. [2] Menu: Help > Check for Updates…: Display: “LibreOffice 5.1 is up to date.” Hence the version 5.1.1 has already been published, I expect a message that a newer version is available. OS: Win7 By the way: Also the website page “Release Notes” has not been updated to the version 5.1.1.
For each cycle, we generally wait for the x.x.3 release to be published to release it through the “Check for Updates” mechanism, since a monthly notification would be annoying for casual users, especially since we still don’t support delta downloads (that is, a smaller download containing only the modified bits). That is a rule of thumb we’ve been following for years. Anyway, Cloph is on vacation right now; I’ll ping him when he’s back about this. As for the website issue, *please* notify the Infrastructure team through redmine.documentfoundation.org, not here.
Cloph made the change, try again. Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED FIXED, if the problem went away.
Closing due to no follow-up.
Check for updates is still not working properly. The current versions of today are 5.1.5 and 5.2.0. If I perform the check with version 5.1.4 I got the information, that LO is up-to-date. If I perform the check with version 5.0.6 I got the information, that version 5.1.4 is available. Also the download link leads to the download page of version 5.1.4. It seemed to me that there is a problem in the release process respective to the update check. Furthermore for me it's no clear how the function should work exactly. In bug 55347 I found a description, which is different to the description in comment 1. Particularly the procedure is not clear if a new feature release (fresh version) has been published and if the still version is still current. To my opinion in this case it's not possible to suggest for each user the right version. Some like to update to the more sophisticated version (still) and others like to update to a version with new features (fresh). See also bug 84122 and bug 93282. I think the only way to get rid of this problem is to offer both updates so that a user can decide. This has already been proposed in bug 97302. In order to help users in their decision target groups for the different versions can be displayed. E.g.: Versions X.Y.0 - X.Y.2: Experienced LibreOffice users, which like to use new features. Innovative user who are willing to report bugs to the Document Foundation. Versions X.Y.3 - X.Y.5: Basically suitable for all users. Users which set a great value upon stability should use versions X.Y.6 or X.Y.7. Versions X.Y.6 - X.Y.7: For all users suitable. Particulary for users which set a great value upon stability and do not need the most recent features.
5.1.5 not being offered is a bug, I CCed Christian, he's taking care of it. Your thoughts on how this feature should be extended/reworked should probably go in bug 97302. If you're curious, this is the current update script: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/website/tree/check.php?h=update
Online update script has been updated to suggests 5.2.1 for previous 5.2 versions, and 5.1.5 for <= 5.1 versions. Commit: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/website/commit/check.php?h=update&id=cef45b88fd558868e54368e078c7d60e2182a087 As I wrote, I suggest having the discussion on the general behavior of online updater in their respective reports. Thank you!
Checked with current versions (5.2.5, 5.2.6, 5.3.0, 5.3.1). Works as expected now. Hence bug closed.
