Summary09699: Update process with different tiers
Description

When you installed 2.06+ (build 150611) before Jun 12,2015 you won't be offered the update. The other updates are not offered either.

Since 2.06+ received stable status only a few days ago the online update distribution seems to be still on hold.

When looking on such big fixes on the first day
Changes from 2.06+ (build 150611) to 2.06+ (build 150612) Jun 12, 2015
-Fixed issue: Unable to add answer options/sub-questions or to edit quotas (Carsten Schmitz)

I wouldn't label 2.06 stable. For surveys which starts soon, you would normally stay on 2.05 for at least a few weeks to months.

To encourage more people to update a multi tier concept should be considered.
To illustrate a multi tier concept take a look at the distribution concept of cpanel
documentation.cpanel.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2719905
LTS Long-Term Support. If you do not wish to upgrade, you can select version for as long as it is supported
STABLE This version has received considerable public exposure, testing, and verification. Published least frequently.
RELEASE This version is feature-complete and well tested. It contains all intended features and functionality. New installations default to RELEASE. Published more frequently than STABLE.
CURRENT This version is tested and verified, but it may not contain all of the proposed functionality of a release. This tier is similar to the "release candidate" tier used under other publication schemes. Published more frequently than RELEASE.
EDGE This version only has rudimentary testing. The features are subject to further modification. This version usually lacks official public documentation.
Due to the dynamic nature of EDGE builds, only use EDGE to test for compatibility and functionality in a controlled environment. This tier is not recommended for production servers.

With the current concept the online update won't deliver any update at the moment (because 2.06 was marked stable).
Please correct me if i am wrong.

I am sorry but updates are offered to 2.06 users as usual.

For 2.05 user only updates up until the latest 2.05 build are offered.

This is a feature request in the first place.

There is perhaps a misconception about what "stable" should signal.

A current Version 2.05+ Build 150508 installation should be offered the last 2.05 build which is 150520? At least there are laster 2.05 than 150508. The installation is working fine with comfort update and had no problems reaching/downloading new updates.

There is currently no newer LimeSurvey version available.

A fresh Version 2.06+ Build 150611 installation didn't showed any updates.
I installed the update Build 150612 in a manual way.

So in both branched I don't see any updates. To me this has something to do with labeling 2.06 as stable.

Back to the idea:
A lot of small regressions are hurting the reputation when going through updates. And there is a lot of pressure on the developers when pure user people updating too early. The problem that they are not updating at all might be the bigger problem.

Thanks.

Yes, I understood that this is meant as a feature request.

I checked the 2.06 updates and they work just fine - I can see actually people updating to the latest 2.06+ build (from any earlier 2.06 version).
We did not change anything regarding ComfortUpdate so a 150520 should be offered to users of earlier 2.05+ versions as usual.

Any 2.05x users should be able to update now to 2.06+
