"Check for updates.." feature not working properly

Postby nedR » 23 Oct 2013 07:46

On my Windows 8 64-bit system running vlc 2.0.8 Twoflower, running "Check for updates.." says I am running the latest version even though 2.1.0 is out.
Just giving heads-up.

how can be normal ? if a feature designed to help you know that a new release is available, and is not working as should.

is not 2.1.0 a new release available ?

I confirm that bug exist and is easy to reproduce.

I have seen this same issue as well. Could it be there is a cut-off between the twoflower and rincewind builds?

2.1.0 is not delivered automatically due to regressions.
