Possible bug in plugins section of www.ads-software.com

This is probably not the best place for this, but I don’t know where else to post it.

Last night I updated one of my plugins that is hosted here on www.ads-software.com: Taxonomy Images. 0.5 was the last version. 0.7 is the newly uploaded version.

I experienced the normal 15 – 20 minute wait for the plugin to be updated after I checked the new version in. This time something strange happened though: only some of the information was updated.

1. Download link – good
2. Minimum version – good
3. Compatible up to – good
4. Plugin name – good
5. Just about everything else – bad

All of the tabs ( Description, Installation, Changelog ) were displaying data from 0.5. This lasted for a few hours until I decided to give something a try …

The Stable tag in version 0.5’s readme.txt was configured to use svn tag 0.5. The Stable tag in version 0.7’s readme.txt was changed to trunk.

I thought that maybe www.ads-software.com was reading from the 0.5 tag’s readme.txt instead of the one in trunk. I decided to delete the 0.5 tag all together just to see what would happen. After the 0.5 tag was removed, www.ads-software.com started reading from 0.7’s readme.txt!

I was able to fix this myself but thought that I would let you know what happened.
