[geeklog-devel] New version checker

[Rouslan Placella]

Hi all,

I found a task on openhatch [1] that involves redesigning the current
version checker page [2]. And so I decided to give it a go. And so I put
together a prototype over the last few days.

I'm looking for some feedback and help testing. So far I only tested on
linux with Firefox 3.6 and Opera 11. (There are a few minor issues with
the timeline image that I'm aware of, but that I haven't fixed yet.
E.g.: some text gets clipped in some situations and PHP is not loading
the fonts that I'm telling it to.)

There are 8 different types of response that one can get from this
script. Here are some examples:

http://www.placella.com/gl/versioncheck/versionchecker.php?version=1.7.1sr1
http://www.placella.com/gl/versioncheck/versionchecker.php?version=1.7.1
http://www.placella.com/gl/versioncheck/versionchecker.php?version=1.5.2
http://www.placella.com/gl/versioncheck/versionchecker.php?version=1.6.1
http://www.placella.com/gl/versioncheck/versionchecker.php?version=1.3.9
http://www.placella.com/gl/versioncheck/versionchecker.php?version=1.8.0hg
http://www.placella.com/gl/versioncheck/versionchecker.php?version=1.7.0rc1



Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Rouslan
