Feature #16222
closed
Warning when a newer version is available which isn't security checked.
0%
Description
Example:
Installing Typo3 4.0 and immediately invoking the extension manager results in TemplaVoila Version 0.4.0 being displayed - even though 1.0.1 is available.
Reason - 0.4.0 is the lastest version which is security checked.
This works of course - as documented - but shouldn't the user be at least informed about major changes in the version?
Would suggest adding another column to the "Import Extensions" page which displays not only the latest "security-checked version" but also the latest version.
Otherwise this can get quite confusing ;)

I hacked the em_xmlhandler and em_index and ended up with the PNG above.
Using TemplaVoila! as an example it shows 0.4.0 as the latest seccheck version, but that 1.0.1 is available. (1.0.1 is installed). If a later version is not available it is not shown.
I could send you the code, but you wouldn't like to look at it ;)
I essentially made a copy (latestXML) of extensionsXML in loadExtensionsXML and added a call to a new function searchLatestExtensionsXML from within searchExtensionsXML which works on the latestXML array - but removing the security check.
Upon output in em_index::prepareImportExtList i simply check the version key after reversing the array (uksort puts them in earliest version to latest version format - Oh, I should have simply gotten the last array element - duh!) and if it differs - I show it.

Will be solved by #22649 which removes this option.
