Hi all, First, thank you all for your valuable feedback regarding Add-on Updater. At the moment I’m making changes to the corresponding pull request (NVDA issue 3208) based on your feedback and the add-on code. Also, version 18.08.5 will hit the air in about half an hour from now. This one fixes a bug where Add-on Updater settings panel didn’t show up properly if there are add-ons with badly formatted manifest data. I also took this time to exclude Nuance Vocalizer family of add-ons from participating in add-on update checks. Few more important announcements: - Removing “stable” tag: I’m removing stable tag from this add-on once 18.08.5 is released. This is to follow precedence set by Screen Curtain where proof of concept/prototype add-ons will remain under development.
- Compatibility with really old add-ons: prior to widespread use of Add-on Template, add-on authors would package add-ons by hand. This means add-on manifest data would be formatted in such a way that caused Python to treat them as things other than text. Although Add-on Updater will notice these and take appropriate action, compatibility with these old add-ons is not guaranteed. The solution is for add-on authors to put quotes around manifest data, specifically for summary and description fields. I’ll edit relevant sections in NVDA’s developer guide to reflect this discovery.
- Feedback channel: in addition to emails and social media replies (Twitter and what not), the best place to send feedback regarding add-on update feature is GitHub via https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3208.
Thank you. Cheers, Joseph

Yes, if you correct all manifest.ini files in your machine, the addon updater will work without problems...

Hi! I installed Add-On Updater 18.08.5 yesterday, and it shows up as enabled in my add-ons list, but I still have the strange problem I described before, where there is no sign of the add-on updater in either tools or preferences. As I wr’ite this, I haven’t been warned of any add-on updates either, but that might be simply because none of mine are being updated at this moment. Some of my add-ons are old and have never been updated since I got them as far as I know, which might make a difference. I probably shouldn’t worry if nothing happens, I just hope to see proof one day that the add-on updater is working, not just that it’s enabled in the Manage Add-ons dialogue. Bye for now! From Clare

Can't duplicate this here. Check for
add on updates is the last in the list of Tools in the nvda menu.

Subject: [nvda] Add-on Updater: 18.08.5 as last
stable version for now, few important announcements
Hi all,
First, thank you all for
your valuable feedback regarding Add-on Updater. At the
moment I’m making changes to the corresponding pull request
(NVDA issue 3208) based on your feedback and the add-on
code.
Also, version 18.08.5
will hit the air in about half an hour from now. This one
fixes a bug where Add-on Updater settings panel didn’t show
up properly if there are add-ons with badly formatted
manifest data. I also took this time to exclude Nuance
Vocalizer family of add-ons from participating in add-on
update checks.
Few more important
announcements:
- Removing “stable” tag: I’m removing stable
tag from this add-on once 18.08.5 is released. This is to
follow precedence set by Screen Curtain where proof of
concept/prototype add-ons will remain under development.
- Compatibility with really old add-ons: prior
to widespread use of Add-on Template, add-on authors would
package add-ons by hand. This means add-on manifest data
would be formatted in such a way that caused Python to
treat them as things other than text. Although Add-on
Updater will notice these and take appropriate action,
compatibility with these old add-ons is not guaranteed.
The solution is for add-on authors to put quotes around
manifest data, specifically for summary and description
fields. I’ll edit relevant sections in NVDA’s developer
guide to reflect this discovery.
- Feedback channel: in addition to emails and
social media replies (Twitter and what not), the best
place to send feedback regarding add-on update feature is
GitHub via https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3208.
Thank you.
