Update to aMSN 0.98.9 but ALREADY UPDATED!

[kanito73]

Hello

I don't know if there is a bug with the latest release on the module to check for new version... every time that I start aMSN it shows a popup advising that there is a new version 0.98.9 and to update, but I ALREADY UPDATED one week ago... I removed and reinstalled aMSN but it keeps throwing that message... how can I turn it off? it is very annoying... I have not tested under Linux yet, but at least it is on Windows 7...

Thanks

Yeah, this happens with my aMSN too. Sometimes when I sign in it notifies about an update and that 0.98.9 version is available but I already have it. It also happens every single time if I press "Check for updates" in the aMSN login screen.
My operating system is Windows XP Professional.

I guess it is a bug on the new version, the same happened with aMSN for Linux...

Hi,

rcversion has been set to 0.98.09 in the Release, so it's smaller than 0.98.9 from http://www.amsn-project.net/amsn_latest

Update:
this worked perfectly with 0.98.4, where rcversion was 0.98.04 and amsn_latest was 0.98.4;
The problem is octal interpretation (see here), so it will fail with .08 and .09 .

for the future we could change autoupdate.tcl from line 554

Code:

if {[scan [lindex $lastver $x] %d] > [scan [lindex $yourver $x] %d]} {
set newer 1
  break
} elseif {[scan [lindex $lastver $x] %d] < [scan [lindex $yourver $x] %d]} {

Modify the amsn file in the scripts folder, or replace with this

It has the same number of the previous URL and voilá, up-to-date

I installed aMSN 0.98.9 into my new computer with Windows 7. The problem is gone.
