Local Java Greenfields 1.28.1 Help | Check for updates... does not report 1.30.1 is now available

[petervwyatt]

My local Java installation of veraPDF greenfields 1.28.1 is not detecting that v1.30.1 has been updated when Help | Check for updates... is used. Has the endpoint of this request been updated? (No error messages appear in the console window)

@petervwyatt this check is based on the availability of the new version on Maven Central via this search https://search.maven.org/solrsearch/select?q=g:org.verapdf

Looks like it gets reindexed with some delay and still shows 1.28 as the latest version. Hope this will soon be fixed automatically.

Feel free to close then... I was too hasty!

BTW, the Docker images for verapdf/rest and verapdf/arlington as well as https://demo.verapdf.org/ and https://arlington.verapdf.org/ have been upgraded to 1.30

Thanks!

I got frustrated with waiting for Maven to update and installed v1.30.1 manually. Now, if I run a "Check for updates" in v1.30.1 I get a Java crash log:
