Having issues?
StaleCheck is a library that helps users keep your addons up to date. It handles both detecting when a new version of your addon is available and letting users know of it in an unobtrusive way. It is listed here on CurseForge for discovery only, in GitHub you will find the latest versions.
Usage
You can simply call the library to check for updates (after saved variables have been loaded):
Lib:CheckForUpdates("MyAddon", My_Saved_Vars)
The library will store all the information it needs under My_Saved_Vars.latest. You can also embed the library or specify an icon to be shown in dialog popups.
MyAddon:Embed(Lib)
MyAddon:CheckForUpdates("MyAddon", My_Saved_Vars, "Interface/Addons/MyAddon/myIcon")
Popups
Creating popups through the blizzard API causes taint. Thus, the library will only show a popup message if Sushi-3.1 is loaded. Otherwise, a chat message will be printed instead.
Reminder!
If you use this library, please list it as one of your dependencies in the CurseForge admin system. It's a big help!
