Script Versioning - Userscripts.org

Versions are now stored for scripts. I'm working on "diff" functionality as well as adding "release notes" so users can see what has changed.

Let me know (email me) if you have any issues upgrading your scripts or installing others scripts.

You could comment on this post if you were logged in.

Ooh finally. Will the people see an automatically generated changelog listed under the script...?

@Photodeus,

I'm going to revise the update step to ask the user to give a (optional) description of the change. I'll expose diff functionality to be able to look at code changes.

But you can't install an older version of the script?
If I'm going to use the new features of GM 0.8, it would be nice if the old script version would be still available for people that haven't or don't want to upgrade to the new version of GM.
Moreover if a new version for different reasons won't work for somebody, he would like to reinstall the older version.

@Aquilax,

I'm doing things in steps instead of doing huge rewrites - installing and viewing older versions is going to be possible (although there will be strong verbage suggesting that users should use the newest versions unless instructed)

Will your versioning detect the presence of @require and/or @resource ... to auto show a * needs GM 0.8 * version warning.

Can we get JUST the current version number of a script?

I use autoupdating code on all of my scripts, and I'd like to use less bandwidth.

Jessey can you make it possible to remove a version from the list or make it in some way that its source cannot be shown only if you want that by preferences i mean coz sometimes i upload a script that contains personal data such as a password that i forgot to delete and i have to delete the script and start over with the nbr of downloads and comments...
