not having the code under version control makes me nervous.

There are therefore versions and updates. You can then also final or updated version added to for the auto-update system.

We'll see, what he says to this Nostra or Moderator.

Why? It's a simple script. It's easy enough to apply your own version control by assigning version numbers and maintaining a change log in the script. Ivek and I worked together on the AllRovi script, and had no difficulty through many development versions and several bug fix versions after release to the auto-update system.

If the project is complicated and/or there are more than a few people working on, you may find a more formal form of version control beneficial. But it shouldn't be assumed to be necessary in all cases.

GazonkFoo:
Well it's much easier to follow changes and track issues than in a forum.
Keeping changelogs in the source code is something i really dislike.

Ok i must admit i normaly work on larger scale projects and i'm actually a fulltime developer but for me there's no downside of this. I don't see how more than two people can work on anything without a VCS (it's already hard for two to work in parallel).

Setting up a project on any of the hosting sites is a matter of seconds.

rick.ca:
I don't know how I can be more clear. Do what you please. If you're working with another developer, that person will no doubt agree. It might even be a good idea for two or more amateurs working on a project. But the method doesn't need to be imposed on anyone.

I think the ADE script on the Downloads page ought to be replaced with GazonkFoo's version.

I had been using the old version (0.1.1.something) but ADE made another change to their HTML that broke the old script. Basically, the script was searching for a tag that delimits some of the info it extracts from the webpages, but ADE started using two variations of the tag, so the script went into an infinite loop. :P I figured out how to fix the old script, but it's really just a band-aid. GazonkFoo's version handled the same search without any problems, so why bother with the old one anymore...
