      @chrcoluk It's not a full Git repo, just a Gist as of now. The link should be there but it's https://gist.github.com/luckman212/5e69ecf04e000ace47eb8f760b71e160 in case you need. The revisions are visible if you need to refer to the previous version.

        @luckman212 Thanks, I also see now the link in first post, sorry its obscure as text was same colour.

        I confirm it works fine on 2.8.0, both email and cli output work also.

            I'm still on 24.11 and I tried this script to see if it would show me that 25.07 is available, but it didn't catch that. I got some other things though.

              @mikethiessen Confirmed the behavior you're seeing. I've got a working fix I am testing now, hopefully will push an update tomorrow or Sundat with a more robust check method that properly handles this.

                Just wanted to reiterate that I put it into a note under Status → Notes, so that the code stays with the gateway, even, if I have to reinstall from a backup. It’s not my idea, but I thought, it’s worth disseminating.

                  @DominikHoffmann If you're going to install a package, you might as well try the Filer package which can store the code and restore it to the correct location as part of the XML backup.

                    @luckman212 Hey, that Filer works great, thanks for the tip. And your Package Check, too! Thanks for all your work.

                      Yeah sorry about the delay on getting the new update script out. That's why e.g. the current script isn't detecting 25.07.1 etc.

                      I have it almost ready, just had a busy few days here. Should be out real soon now.

                        Quite sure the current script notified me on 25.07.1.
