No new version emails

[volas (Alexander V)]

For some reason Discourse stopped sending new version emails, last one was about 3.5.0.beta2 one year ago. Never noticed it because i was subscribed for release_notes, but with new release scheme seems there is no more release notes on the meta forum too.

Setting is enabled:

contact_email is filled (btw searching for “contact_email” in admin settings sends you to “about” page with multiple fields, setting name filtering not works there):

New version exists:

But email newer sent, skipped, bounced, etc.

For context, there is suspended service user with the same email, but probably should not affect version emails.

Looks like the CallDiscourseHub job is broken. Or at least on my site (esr) it only fails.

Job exception: Unsupported command argument type: TrueClass

Me too, last email (from both my forums) in June last year.

Worth fixing!

Thanks for the reports! Looks like this broke following an update to the redis gem back in March 2025

FIX: Handle boolean values in version check response (#38786)
