Hi, I would suggest rebuilding the update site, and posting the release as RC1a or something in your email, with an explanation :-).
I would rather that pruning the releases is more methodical/intentional, with the older ones still being available at the archive.apache.org/dist/uima/archive-eclipse-update-site/ruta-x.x.x-y.y.y site. My experience is that users may have use cases we don't think of which could require access to an older version (but not usually) - so the archive serves a purpose. Thanks. -Marshall On 1/28/2019 4:07 AM, Peter Klügl wrote: > Ah ok. > > > Yes, this was not intentional. > > > I thought that the condition did work even if the property is missing > since the build downloaded the old bundles.
