Spotfire Ideas Portal
This message shows up after some upgrade is performed on the server such as a hotfix, new package or something within the same version:
"You are running version 14.4 of the Spotfire client, but a newer version of 14.4 is also available. If you do not install now, some functions in Spotfire might not work correctly."
The about Spotfire window says it is version 14.4 before the upgrade and 14.4.0 HF-004 after the upgrade. The only way I knew this was by upgrading.
It would be better to include the patch version or the hotfix in the message. Something like:
"You are running version 14.4 of the Spotfire client, but a newer version of 14.4.0 HF-004 is also available. If you do not install now, some functions in Spotfire might not work correctly. "
-or-
"You are running version 14.4.0 of the Spotfire client, but a newer version of 14.4.1 is also available. If you do not install now, some functions in Spotfire might not work correctly. "
If the major, minor, patch and hotfix version does not change like for example, a new extension was installed, then the message is fine the way it is by keeping if the major, minor, patch or hotfix version is the same. It would help if the details contains this info to help understand the changes before installing.
