Suppose my extension is version 1.0. I write a new feature and release 1.1. Then I quickly realize I've shipped a bug, fix it, and release 1.2.
Now suppose a user with 1.0 is offline until after 1.2 is released.
Will they update to 1.2 or to 1.1?
Do users get updated to the latest version, or to the next version from the one they have?
Users always get the latest version. So you’ll have to integrate any update code for 1.1 in 1.2 as well.
Every few hours, the browser checks whether any installed extensions or apps have an update URL. For each one, it makes a request to that URL looking for an update manifest XML file. If the update manifest mentions a version that is more recent than what's installed, the browser downloads and installs the new version.

I am currently using node 6.1 in my project.
I want to upgrade it to latest stable version now.
Before doing that I want to know what are the breaking changes introduced in all the versions in between 6 to 12
Is there any place I can get all these breaking changes for the node versions.
I've found this page to be the most helpful list of all major/minor/patch changes:
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v16.0.0/
Another good resource to find changes to all the different major versions, is the changelog archive on nodejs' github:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/main/doc/changelogs
I built an extension for Chrome and Firefox and I am going to release it, soon. Do I have to check for the browser version the user is running or do the stores of Chrome/Firefox automatically check which version is needed and set this as a condition for downloading the extension?
Both browsers offer you a way to specify a minimum browser version in the extension's manifest.
For Chrome: minimum_chrome_version manifest key.
For Firefox (note, this will make the manifest incompatible with Chrome): applications.gecko.strict_min_version manifest key.
I'm not aware as to what happens on first install if the latest update requires a higher version, but an older version that fits exists - needs testing whether an older version will be offered or it will be marked as incompatible.
In case of automatic updates, the users will be stuck on last compatible version. Which makes it slightly problematic to inform them of this..
I am a beginner in Azure and have come across a task to change the storage version.I basically found that the versions are obsolete and need to upgrade them as per http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/08/05/microsoft-azure-storage-service-version-removal.aspx
So, in one of the paragraphs its mentioned
"What to change
If you find any log entries which show that version to be removed is being used, you will need to find that component and either validate that it will continue to work (unversioned requests may continue to work as their implicit version will simply increase – see above), or take appropriate steps to change the version being used. Most commonly, one of the following two steps will be used:
1) Change the version specified in the request, typically by migrating to a later version of the libraries/tools. When possible, migrate to the latest version to get the most improvements and fixes.
2) Set the default service version to one of the supported versions now so that the behavior can be verified prior to removal. This only applies to anonymous requests with no explicit version. "
Question is, how to go about implementing point 1 and 2 ?
Thanks
Since your code is written in C# and uses Azure SDK your best bet is to upgrade it to a "new enough" SDK. It's unclear whether version 2.0 or 2.1 is the lowest required. So your route is the following:
First, check if you really have to do anything.
You check which Azure SDK your service uses. If it's 2.1 or higher you don't need to worry yet. If your're unsure - use Fiddler to validate the version headers as explained in the linked to post.
If you use Azure SDK 2.0 you'd better check the version headers as explained in the linked to post.
If you use Azure SDK prior to 2.0 you are surely affected and have to upgrade.
So if you found you do need to upgrade you'll have to download and install the newer SDK and then remove references to old SDK assemblies from your projects and add references to new SDK assemblies. Then you try to build your code and maybe fix a lot of calls because SDK interfaces have changed (that's what I see migrating from 1.8 to 2.4). Once it builds you test it works fine and then you remove the old SDK version to ensure the code builds without it present.
There was a breaking change between 2.1 and 2.2 - the latter only support Visual Studio 2012 and higher. There was another set of changes in Azure Diagnostics functioning between 2.4 and 2.5 which are so long to read that I chose to migrate to 2.4 instead of 2.5.
Anybody know how to get the .MSI installer for an older version of Typescript - the download at the offical URL for version 0.9.1.1 is no longer available.
It seems newer version 1.0 or 1.0.1.0 is available, but that version is incompatible with my client's software which I am attempting to support.
Any idea how to get the specific version I need?
OK - found it. After some digging, there is a reference in the bowels of the Microsoft Download Center for many old versions of TypeScript.
Expand the 'Details' section and scroll down, click 'Download' link on desired version...
Yo,
I've installed the brand new (updated) version of MonoTouch 5.4. And things not compile anymore in my code, call of ctors AVPLayerItem, AVAssetReader and AVAssetWritter... That I do not want to change the next few days. So my question: How to install back MonoTouch 5.3.6?
Cheers, Patrick
Support (support#xamarin.com) should be able to give you links to download previous beta versions.
If you want a stable version (MonoTouch 5.2.13 for instance), you can download it yourself from your Xamarin Store account.
