Description

We are happy to answer your questions about the code or discuss technical ideas.

Please complete the following checklist (by adding [x]):

  • I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates
  • This isn't a feature request
  • This is not a report about my app not working as expected

https://proton.me/download/mail/linux/version.json lists 1.13 as "Early Access" but Proton Mail 1.12 shows a warning with a requirement to update.

Is there another more up to date place to check for version numbers ? Wouldn’t it be best to only show pop-ups for versions which are released as stable?

PS: This is a problem for the (unsupported) flatpak version because the pop-up is shown in Proton Mail but the trigger to update waits for a stable version.

Research direction

Start by comparing the release information at https://proton.me/download/mail/linux/version.json with the stable-version trigger in me.proton.Mail.yml at the linked Flathub commit. Determine how the client distinguishes Early Access from stable releases; done means update warnings are shown only for versions that the update path treats as stable.
