NuvioForLinux v0.3.2

This is a stable release, and it is not a continuation of the 0.3.0/0.3.1 alphas. Those were
withdrawn (#5); the code here is 0.2.3.1 plus
the updater fixes below, with none of the upstream port in it.

It is numbered 0.3.2 on purpose. The updater only ever offers a build with a higher version
number, so a 0.2.x release would have been invisible to anyone sitting on 0.3.0 or 0.3.1 and left
them stranded on a withdrawn alpha. 0.3.2 outranks both, which means every install — 0.2.x, 0.3.0
and 0.3.1 alike — is offered this build by the updater it already has, as an ordinary upgrade. No
--allow-downgrades, no reinstall, no turning the experimental toggle off first.

Fixed

  • The updater picks the highest version, not the most recently published release. GitHub
    returns releases newest-created first, which is a different ordering, and only the first match
    was ever considered. Publishing a stable build after an alpha therefore made the lower
    numbered release the sole candidate, and anyone already on the alpha was told they were up to
    date — with no way forward and, on 0.3.0, no way back either.
  • The updater reads the whole release list. It asked for one page of 20 and stopped. With 30
    releases published that already could not see the full history, and picking the highest version
    requires all of it.
  • Withdrawn releases are never offered. 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 stay published so existing installs
    can still reach them, but no update check will move anyone onto them, whatever the experimental
    toggle is set to.

Notes

  • Coming from 0.3.0 or 0.3.1, your data carries over. The alphas wrote five extra settings files
    that this build ignores, removed none, and the one shared record that changed only gained a
    field, which is dropped harmlessly on read.
