As I might for many open-source projects, I was looking for GitHub releases. Someone had the same idea as me and also discovered that Discourse doesn’t have GitHub Releases (anymore). My next attempt was to use git tags on GitHub, which would be the next best thing. As of today, the latest tag on G…

You can use the version check that’s in the Discourse code . https://api.discourse.org/api/version_check?installed_version=X where X is a known version on the branch that you want to get information about. If you just want to get the latest 5 beta version numbers, simply use an old version like h…

[imagen] FelicianoTech: The first link doesn’t help me get the latest version(s) I thought the explanation that notifications are sent once a new beta is released might be helpful for you. When you update after the notification for the 3.6.0.beta3 release, while your forum is based on “latest…

I need some sort of URL where I can use a programming language (or say curl) to check what the latest version(s) is. Typically this is some sort of feed and has a response with structured language such as JSON, XML, YAML, etc.

The data provided by api.discourse.org is taken from the GitHub tags, so you can use either. They’ll always give the same result. [imagen] FelicianoTech: not beta 3 which is what my forum is running That’s because you’re running the pre-release version of beta3: [imagen] Moin: version d…
