-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0_2015-11-05_06-23-29
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 4.3

Can someone please explain why changes to code are published without updating the version number?

I have now downloaded four different "versions" of version 2.6.0

com_hikashop_business_v2.6.0_2015-10-22_03-53-19.tar.gz
com_hikashop_business_v2.6.0_2015-10-20_08-42-43.tar.gz
com_hikashop_business_v2.6.0_2015-11-05_06-23-29.tar.gz
com_hikashop_business_v2.6.0_2015-11-18_05-13-10.tar.gz

It looks like the date downloaded is appended to the archive, but diffing the contents shows changes are being made and pushed up with the same version number.

I see that you are fixing bugs, but only if I check by downloading manually.
You are tracking a separate version number internally, however this is not the one that joomla checks to see if there is an update.

HikaShop <?php echo $this->config->get('level').' '.$this->config->get('version'); ?> [1511171458]

What is the point of a version number if it doesn't track a single state of code?

Hi,

Some 18 months ago I asked basically the same question. See Nicolas' response - certainly fair and valid: www.hikashop.com/forum/install-update/86...lease-no.html#154747
