550919 - Compatibility Report counts beta files

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Compatibility Tools, defect)

Description

[Dave Garrett]

I just took a look at the compatibility report page and noticed that it lists Flagfox as supporting 3.7a3pre, however the latest public version supports up to 3.7a2pre. I do however have a file in the beta channel which does support 3.7a3pre. It looks as though this page is counting the latest file, including betas.

I'm not sure if it's desired to list these here. The page is largely concerned with what the general population is up to and beta file users are a small minority. As far as most people are concerned, an addon wouldn't be considered compatible unless the user could update to a version that works automatically.

Perhaps the extension should also treat these differently.

Thanks for filing this.  In an effort to not drown in existing reports we're aggressively closing old enhancements and bugs to get the buglist to a reasonable level so we can scope and process bug sprints in an effective manner.

Patches for this bug are still welcome.
