End of life of the Elgg Update Services plugin

Sorry. But I don't see any sense in further maintencance of this plugin. Elgg 4.0 and newer no longer uses the manifest.xml file to handle version information. But this file was used by the Elgg Update Services plugin to create a checksum to compare against a checksum created on the server side (i.e. the community site) among some other steps to find out if there's a new version of a 3rd party plugin available for the Elgg version used. So, a major rewrite would have been necessary for the Elgg Update Services plugin to work again on Elgg 4 INCLUDING some changes on the community plugin repository plugin on the Elgg Community server. Additionally, some developer might no longer release their plugins on the community site at all (or only with a huge delay) but rather do their development to a large extend (or only) on their own github repositories. Therefore, it would probably give often a wrong impression if the Elgg Update Services plugin wouldn't report the availability of new plugin releases - there might be some but only not for download on the Elgg community site.

Suggestions to be kept informed about new plugin releases

  • follow ("friend") the developers on the Elgg community site and configure the notification settings to get an email on new activity of these developers. You'll be informed about new plugin releases,
  • if there's a github repository available of a plugin you are interested in, "watch" this repository to receive status updates about new activity.
