The About dialog refreshes the release information relatively to
currently running version before being displayed. No check of the remote
JSON file is done, it only verifies whether any stored released
version/revision is not same (or even lower) than the actually running
version. Indeed existence of a stored release means that a newer version
exists at check time only. On later run, this stored information may
have become deprecated.
(cherry picked from commit 5c89099f75)
After discussing with Schumaml and Houz on IRC, let's just drop the
generic comment which may be confusing and is probably unecessary,
especially now that I write the revision number (present and new ones).
So let's just assume people understand that they should update, even
when GIMP version stays the same (this was the case I was the most wary
about, that people think the notification is an error as since they have
the last version, they don't have to update GIMP).
I hesitated to at least leave just the simple "It is recommended to
update." sentence but after much hesitation, let's go with no generic
comment at all. The download button by itself should suffice.
Of course, when a specific revision comment is set in
gimp_versions.json, it is still displayed.
(cherry picked from commit 56ffa2fd11)
- gtk_show_uri_on_window() replaced by gtk_show_uri()
- gtk_button_new_from_icon_name replaced by
gtk_image_new_from_icon_name() in a GtkButton.
- gtk_widget_set_margin_top() removed.
- Instead of the download link being just a link button (similar to
browser "blue text" links), make it a proper button encompassing the
update icon and the download text "Download GIMP X.Y.Z".
- Make also the revision number part of the download information.
- Frame title is now "Update available!" instead of "New version
available!" (because it's not necessarily a new version, it can also
be just a package revision. "Update" is more generic).
- When no update is available, the "Check for updates" button is big and
has a label, and also now an icon. When an update is available, hence
we display now a button for the download link, the "Check for updates"
button becomes small with icon only in order not to take visual
priority over the download itself (yet allowing to re-check for even
newer information).
(cherry picked from commit a55e898c96)
As noted on IRC, after the first update check on a given day, it looks
like the check button does nothing. Therefore also display the check
time to clearly show the button click was taken into account (simply
there are no updates, hence only displayed check time is updated).
(cherry picked from commit a05b085112)
If for instance you've got no internet connection or other reasons that
a check might fail, the check-update-timestamp will be 0, which is
1970-01-01.
Thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine for noticing it!
(cherry picked from commit ed77830381)
Even when we already notify of an update, we should leave the ability to
query the last gimp_versions.json manually.
It would allow also people who disabled automatic check at startup
(whether through preferences or because the build disabled the feature
altogether) to still make update checks, and to not be forever stuck
with the result of an outdated version check.
(cherry picked from commit 2900f2a868)
The idea is to be able to advertize a new revision of the same version
of GIMP. For instance, this would apply when we release a
`gimp-2-10-14-setup-3.exe` Windows installer (then we are at revision
3, provided we started at revision 0).
The revision number is obviously only relevant to a given platform and
version. Also the concept of build ID allows to differentiate various
builds for a same platform, in particular to not look at revisions of
third-party builds. The build ID can be any string. Maybe we could just
use reverse DNS build id (such as "org.gimp.GIMP_official") to identify
the official GIMP build. So in the end, we only compare revisions for an
identical (version, platform, build-id) tuple.
(cherry picked from commit 7b5fff7861)
When an update is available, a big frame is visible, proposing to go to
the download page. Now a button is also available to explicitly request
for an update check in other cases (bypassing the wait delay for a
future startup).
(cherry picked from commit 827473fd88)
I was wondering which shape should take the new version notification
(again some ugly pop-up?!) and realized using the About dialog was a
good idea.
This is preparatory work for this to happen.
(cherry picked from commit 826ece3b86)
The abbreviated commit hash we show in the shell and the about
dialog is currently just the last 7 characters of 'git describe',
based on the assumption that abbreviated hashes are always 7-digits
long. When the hash is longer than that, we're just showing a
nonsense commit.
This was never a good idea, since users can override this, and
since disambiguation can result in longer hashes, but since git
2.11, the default abbreviated hash length is determined based on
the size of the repository, which currently results in 10 digits
for us.
Let's just do it right.
