When I added this to Xojo via Plugins Pro it shows the version as 3.4.8 and not 3.5. Is this correct?

Björn_Eiríksson · February 5, 2025, 11:54am

No this is not good,

3.4.8 was version released to one customer to get quick fix for something, so 3.4.8 is partial 3.5, and I think it is actually 3.4.8 since the new example project seems to be missing in it.

The Demo version shows 3.5.8 and has the new example project. (But version should be 3.5.0). So the Demo one is sort of correct except the version counter is wrong.

I will try to re-release this all today to get this sorted.

Thanks

Björn_Eiríksson · February 5, 2025, 12:07pm

It has been re-released now.

I am sorry about the problem. I do not know exactly why this mix-up happened which is never good since then there is no lesson to be learned from the defect.

So you just have to re-download now.

Sascha_S · February 5, 2025, 12:16pm

Still gives me a 3.4.8

Björn_Eiríksson · February 5, 2025, 12:27pm

I think your just getting cached download. I just tested downloading my self right now and I got 3.5

If your having problem getting fresh copy then you can also grab it from the OneDrive download set at

Sascha_S · February 5, 2025, 12:36pm

Yes. You were correct
