Version ~4.0 not found

[montaniasystemab]

Hello!

We've been using bower to install fine uploader version 4 but it seems that something has changed which means that currently we're unable to install using bower.

bower fine-uploader#~4.0              ENORESTARGET No tag found that was able to satisfy ~4.0

bower.json:

{
  "name": "…",
  "version": "…",
  "dependencies": {
    "fine-uploader": "~4.0",
…
  }
}

How can we continue to install version 4 with bower? Currently it's part of our build process.

Thanks!

I'm sorry that you're running into issues. Bower was never a supported method for pulling down the library, but that will change soon.

@feryardiant is there some way you could backfill fine-uploader on bower with all version 4 builds? If that proves to be too much work, perhaps 4.0 will be enough since none of the 4.x builds are supported anymore anyway.

I understand, see what you can do otherwise we have a good reason for upgrading to version 5. Thanks

@montaniasystemab Is this still an issue for you? If so, @feryardiant is there some way you could backfill fine-uploader on bower with all version 4 builds?

@rnicholus I've removed fine-uploader from our build and included an old copy of the file in our project. So it's still an issue for old versions of our software but for newer deploys it's working now.

Where can I get the 3.x builds?

My build system (bower update) broke and I cannot get the old versions. Upgrade to 5.x failed because all files were moved around. I do not want to upgrade right now.

[rnicholus]

Your best bet is to find the appropriate version tag in the fine-uploader repository and manually run the build.

I just tried to upgrade to 5.11 and it seems to work after changing the paths and using fine-uploader.min.js That is rather unexpected after 2 major version changes.

If you were not relying on the built in UI, which changed quite a bit, it's very possible that the breaking changes did not affect you. The top of the docs page includes a link that explains 5.0 breaking changes, and that page links to the 4.0 breaking change guide too.

We have a angularJS 1 directive for the GUI, so we might be lucky this time. Thanks for your work.
