Problems with plugin readme.txt and update date

[oferwald]

Hello,

Looking at my plugin page on wordpress.org, I see that the readme.txt information has not been updated, (The changelog is from an older version)

Further more, the last updated date shows the date of three versions before (1-11) while it has been updated today (and twice more since that date)

Take a look at
​http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress/changelog/

Thanks in advance, if this is not the correct place to report, I would appreciate a nod towards the right place.

Try bumping the readme.txt in trunk by adding some trailing whitespace.

#16522, #15794

The number of times this is being reported recently suggests that there has been some change in how the repo updates.

Maybe it makes sense that in the plugin admin an author can request a refresh.

Often you do a commit and then you need to wait and you have no control / status and can only wait until changes get applied.

Ok, added whitespace and the description got updated, however the updated date is still wrong and is dating three versions back

Re-tag the whole plugin in both the .php, the readme and the SVN tags. That should refresh.

Hello Hakre,

Sorry, don't get it, re-tag it where? that is really what I am doing when having a new version, changes to the readme.txt didn't help.

And I assume it is a bug in wp.org, so it should probably be solved somehow (or somewhere)

svn tag

I was just offering some feedback because I thought it is helpful but I didn't wanted to say that there is no space for improvements with the related processes on wp.org. See #16522

Hello there, last updated date for me is still in the past (January) I have recently released a new version, and still nothing, bug 16522 is now closed, but this is not working yet, so the duplicate marking is irrelevant.

just check:
​http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress
date is stuck in January but the recent version released two days ago

and yes, I did add whitespace to the readme.txt in the past, no, it didn't work.

I have been using the same script to release versions for over a year now. which is basically svn checkin to the trunk followed by a svn copy to the tag.

Thanks for your help

Currently it shows 2011-06-22. However the plugin was updated on 2011-08-02, so looks like there's some kind of a lag.

Anyway, it's still a duplicate of #16522, so it's better to continue the discussion there.
