Date of release missing

[quozl]

On an info page it isn't possible to tell how old a release is. There is no date or number of days.

@quozl the link you have provided contains version dates in the changelog. They give an idea of what was the latest release version and its date. What exact date do you want added in this as well ?

The issue and opening comment talks about the date of the release, the case you've pointed out seems to be one case where dates where included in the changelogs, but it doesn't apply for a host of other activities, which is why the issue is open.

Each page shows the version released, but not the date the version was released, the changelogs usually don't contain the date of the release but the changes of the release.

Hope this helps.

The dates in the NEWS file are in the wrong order, and don't include the releases beyond a certain point. That's not a problem with the NEWS file, but a problem with assuming the NEWS file is useful for giving the release date.

Abacus, for example, only has version numbers in descending order.

Thank you, I understand now! Can you please point out to the files where I can add the latest version release dates in the info section.
Also how would I check the latest versions release dates of all the activities listed in v4.

No, that won't fix the problem, as developers made and make activity releases without updating the NEWS file. Another method will be needed. By preference using the data or metadata already known to the application.

You probably have to understand the entire activity release process, and the step that involves aslo-v4, before designing an intervention.
