You are seeing these "fake" versions due to DNN telemetry picking up "news" of a version that really doesn't exist or hasn't been released. DNN has a "phone home" mechanism that sends versions for the platform and installed modules back to dnnplatform.io with the intention of collecting and corellating version information across the platform's ecosystem and sharing that information with the vendors and community. What sometimes happens though, is that a module developer might have DNN installed and be working on a module's repository (or fork of a module repository) and bumps the version in their internal build/version. But since they don't know about or perhaps forget to turn off this feature, their "update" makes its way into the telemetry, and gets pushed out to the ecosystem as a potential new version. How do I know this? Because I've caused false updates to appear as available because I test the community forums builds, and I forget to remove the option****. :) More here: 8.0.1 is current version so if you have an issue please please post it. Also, 8.1 is coming out soon, so your issue might (hopefully) already be addressed. https://github.com/DNNCommunity/Dnn.CommunityForums/releases/tag/08.01.00-RC1 |
