Description (last modified by westram)
At startup of arb fork a version checker, which works through the following procedure:
- load local database (e.g. properties) containing
- newest revision numbers announced to current arb
- announce-properties:
- privacy (do not contact arb website)
- what to announce (new release only; release+RC; changes in stable development version=trunk)
- minimum distance between 2 announcements in days (default=7)
- timestamps:
- last time any announcement was displayed
- earliest time for redisplay (see GUI/close buttons below)
- newest revision numbers announced to current arb
- if not opted-out:
- retrieve information from arb-home.de:
- current release/release candidate version (revision numbers)
- newest development revision with updated changelog
- see #679 for what information shall be transferred to arb-home.de (via URL)
- if something should be announced, startup GUI
- retrieve information from arb-home.de:
GUI:
- textbox to display announcement
- preferences (how to get announced)
- close buttons:
- "I'm busy, show me again tomorrow"
- "I'm really busy, show me again in two weeks"
- "Got it, do not show this announcement again"
When a close button is pressed
- store retrieved revision numbers as 'announced' (button 3 only)
- update timestamps
- save properties
- terminate
First startup:
- announce the announce-feature
- describe what private data will be revealed to arb-home.de and how it will be used (see #679)
- set current arb-version as last announced version
See also #680.
