Added value of Patcher mechanism

[Jeriss Cloud Center]

Dear

I checked the page on your blog about the new Patcher mechanism but I dont understand what added value it brings. Why not just making new minor releases when issues are found?

I fear this would lead to some confusions as we’d have to check both for plugin version updates AND patches now. I dont think this was a good idea.

When would a bug be worth a minor release? When would a bug be worth a patch? Please clarify the distinction.

Thanks

Hello,

Why did we decide to add patcher functionality instead of releasing constant updates when we find a bug. The fact is that on our forum almost every day people write about some bugs in our theme. And these bugs can be different in meaning and priority. Some bugs can be very minor and only occur on a few of our customers’ sites. All other customers will never encounter it and they do not need to update the site every day. In this case, it is better for us to release a patch that will be useful only for a few clients. This bug will also be fixed in the next update and the patch will disappear from the list. If the reported bug is very significant and covers a lot of sites, then we are releasing the update.

Kind Regards

So if I see a bug and would like to get it fixed at least temporarily for me, it may pass through a patch just for me? And then that would be fixed later officially in the next release for all users? In this case, indeed it makes sense.

Yes, that is the main idea behind our patcher feature.

Please close this ticket, thanks
