I’m now maintaner of this plugin and here is a quick update regarding our update policy:
How to safely update when using our plugins:
Pavilion’s update schedule
Pavilion will focus on ensuring compatibility of this plugin with Discourse Core tests-passed branch during the first 5 days of every month.
Any bugs which arise because of an incompatibility will be addressed asap during this ‘supported period’, preferably by the 7th day. Low severity bugs or Beta features may be kept out of supported scope.
How to perform your update
Consider testing your update on your own staging server built from a back-up of your production site. You can switch this server off for the rest of the month so you don’t get charged for up-time. Use this opportunity to test out all basic functionality to identify any issues with plugins. Report all critical and high issues asap on the relevant plugin topic.
Aim to update your Production Discourse instance in the first 5 days of every month. You will get more focussed support from the Pavilion team on any issues with their plugins during this period.
You update your Production server outside of the first 5 days of the month at your own risk.
PS:
Major code rewrite is coming. You can follow it here:
