301622 - Deer Park 'Check for Updates' offers nightlies as a "security update"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Colin Ogilvie [:cso]]

The "Check for Updates" wizard offers nightly builds as a security update in the
wizard. However, it looks from the RDF as if its being offered a "minor" update,
not a "security" one.

Chase and I discussed this a bit a few days back, and we figured it might make
good sense to add a flag to the XML manifest file that could indicate the
severity of the update.  A simpler client-side only solution would be to treat
updates from version 1.0+ to version 1.0+ as non-security updates.  That might
be enough to solve this bug.  However, the flag solution might be more flexible
and give us more options later on.
