Sure. But one problem was that you could not easily set the version numbers to something that allows testing without automatically making the plugin compatible with the release version, too: > > the beta build of version X has a _higher_ version number than the final > release of version X which kind of doesn't make sense > If that wasn't the case you could e.g. set a maxVersion to something that allows testing under a - say - 7.8.1 beta so that users can try it and find out whether it works or not. Right now, if you do that and don't change your repo back after the release the plugin will also work with the final release even if the test turned out to be negative. That said: in most cases you are probably right and since most devs don't touch their plugins with every server release there will likely still be a "*" in the maxVersion making more sophisticated versioning kind of moot... --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101265 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
