Only a repository's published releases are checked: a tag without a release is ignored, so
a repository that only has tags shows as having no releases
An update stands out in the list: what is up to date is shown quietly (no longer green), a
newer version is a blue pill, its extension has an update icon and moves to the top, and the
title says how many updates there are
Added
Checks without the window: "At login and on start" checks once at login and notifies;
"Every hour", "6 hours" and "day" keep Gextant running in the background (also after its
window is closed) and check on a timer, notifying about new updates. Gextant adds the
autostart entry itself while one of these is chosen
Preferences: Update Notifications (on by default, shown where checks repeat) and Dock Counter
(on by default), the number of updates on Gextant's icon in Ubuntu Dock and Dash to Dock
while Gextant runs
Preferences has two tabs: General, with how often to check for updates (manually, on start
only by default, every hour, every 6 hours, every day) and a Prereleases switch (off by
default; GitHub only, through the API); and Connections, with the access tokens
A system extension whose UUID is also in your folder (a package linked there, say) stays in
the list with a warning icon and, in its details, a note that your copy is the one in use
A warning before an update replaces a link in your extensions folder with a copy of its own
Update buttons in an extension's details, next to each source (GitHub, GitLab,
extensions.gnome.org) that has a newer version: the download is checked (the same extension,
for the running Shell, no path out of its folder), put in place of the installed one, which
is kept as a backup, and the window says to log out to apply it
An RPM for Fedora on COPR (selfref/gextant), built with each release
A warning icon on an extension that does not support the running GNOME Shell, its tooltip
naming the versions it does
A details window, opened by clicking an extension: its description (one line, expandable, with
basic Markdown shown), UUID, version, folder,
the Shell versions it supports, the Shell's status for it (enabled, disabled, error, out of
date) with a button to enable or disable it where it supports the running Shell, a button to
open its settings, its website, what the checks found, and the rest of its metadata.json;
its buttons (copy the UUID, open the folder or the settings, enable or disable, open the
website) answer with a toast
