Suggestion: Don't forget to always push for latest version in Opera Web Store #61
3 participants
I did it today with version 0.2.0.0. I don't mind the review, it is also an advantage for users, it's that it's time consuming on my side, I have to use a virtual machine to run Windows, copy files across the VM and host, etc. I find it discouraging to have to go through all these steps.
The thing is, people (using Opera browsers) would love to have automatic updates for both HTTPSB and µBlock, but because of this, they become quickly obsolete in Opera Web Store...
Either you'd find a way to reduce the time needed for the review, or you'd code an automatic update feature (in this case, the first manual installation would be the last one).
I'm not talking about this to bother, I'm just thinking about inexperienced Opera users which would like to benefit from latest versions of both HTTPSB and µBlock without having to do it manually
FFS why would you use windows for this?
They have linux version for several month now, both bleeding edge(get from desktop blog), or on the main site for slowpokes.
Also self-updating addons are against the rules of opera.

Well I need to test at least once on Windows, so I take the opportunity to do it on Opera (and Yandex sometimes). It's not too bad with some scripts. I uploaded a new version to Opera store now, so people have to wait anyways because they do not review during the week-end.
Yep. But i naively though that javascript is crossplatform :), and opera guys check this for you anyway.
I did have an issue on Windows once. There was the filename of a 3rd-party asset which wasn't working on Windows. These things happen, best it to double check it works all fine as expected.
Ok I wont.
I want to keep the pile of issues as clean as possible (limited time, etc.)
O f course not, I mean I won't forget.
The title speaks for itself (and it's about HTTPSB as well). I know Opera staff can take some time to review an addon, but µBlock is still at 0.1.4.2, whereas the 0.1.2.0 version have just been released :S (HTTPSB is also late :/)
