Developers: Plugin versions

[Brian]

As of Rainmeter 3.3 beta (r2438), plugin developers need to regularly update your plugin's version number with every release you make. This includes beta releases, final releases, and test releases.

Remember, there are two places to edit in your resource file (.rc):

Version1.png

The reason is because we made a change to the skin installer that will by default uncheck any plugin that has the same or newer plugin already installed on their computer. This change will help with users installing older versions of plugins over newer installations. Of course the user can always manually check the checkbox next to the plugin, but doing so will prompt a message box to appear with a warning.

If the plugin being installed is not present on the system, you get this:

If the plugin being installed is older than the plugin already installed, you get this:

VersionNewerInstalled.png

If the plugin being installed is the same version as the plugin already installed, you get this:
