Description
Hi,
We have a general question: **how does CLI notify users to stop using an outdated extension?**
Context:
We (AppConfig Team) recently upgraded our extension from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0, which fixed issues and introduced new features. But our current users are using the old extension, how do we notify them to stop using the old one and upgrade to new one? Without CLI notification, we have to count on users running "az extension list-available" regularly by themselves, discover a newer version existing, then upgrade.
Some Thought:
This is a common question for any extension upgrade. I believe idea is: when an user is using an outdated extension 1.0, once he uses it, CLI should print an INFO like "there is a newer version 2.0 existing, your current extension is outdated, please use command xxx to upgrade". Then, leave the decision to user to upgrade or not.
Look forward to discussion and moving forward.
Thanks,
Ren
