Is the upgrade notification broken in xLights? Running 2023.23 and do not get an update notification when I open the application.

 

[MikeKrebs]

Yes, update checker still broken here on 2023.23 too.

 

[Skymaster]

I tested my version at home 2023.20 and it is not notifying about updates either.

It appears the xLights website is broken.
The table of previous releases is not showing either.

I imagine it all stems from that as xLights reaches out to http://xlights.org/releases to get the list.

 

[Katekate]

things have changed on github too. (see first entry on these release notes) so that may also cause the update checker to fail out.

 

[Skymaster]

Github redirects quite cleanly when a repository is moved; all previous links still work; unless if the previous owner stands up a new repository with the same name as the old.

Packet capture definitely shows xlights reaching out to the releases page on xlights.org; however,and not to GitHub specifically.
