Plugin Not Updating After Commit

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/turnstile/ shows 1.2.1 now.

It can take up to 6 hours to cache correct (which is mentioned in the FAQ – https://developer.www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-developer-faq/#how-long-does-it-take-for-the-plugin-directory-to-reflect-my-changes )

Looking at the changelog, you neglected to properly update the files to show the stable version was 1.2.1 until just a few hours ago – https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset?new=2231795%40turnstile&old=2231769%40turnstile

So that would be why.

It seems as though I needed to update the readme.txt in the trunk/ directory to get the plugin page to update.

That is correct. The readme.txt in the /trunk directory specifies the “Stable Tag”, which is pointing to a directory in the /tags directory, which is where it will pull the plugin from.

Here’s the ideal development scenario. You make your changes to your plugin. The latest and greatest version of the plugin is in /trunk. When you want to release that plugin, aka tagging a version, you copy /trunk to a new version number in the /tags directory.

Here’s the right way to do that:

1. Check out your plugin:

svn checkout https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/pluginname ./pluginname

Now, you will have a copy of your plugin in the pluginname directory.

2. Make whatever changes to /trunk you like. Update the readme.txt and the plugin.php file with correct versions.

3. Now, when you’re ready to tag your version, you do this:

svn copy /trunk /tags/1.2.3

Or whatever the version number is.

4. Once you have double checked all your changes, and are sure all the files are right, then you commit the entire plugin directory, like so:

svn commit /pluginname

And it commits the whole thing. The updates to the plugin in trunk, the tagged copy with a version number directory, all of it in big go. Works great.

I am having the same issue with plugin update. Cant figure out problem. Please advise.
