Have you set in digiKam setup that you want to search for new pre-releases?

I would have expected that looking for a final release would work.   Looking for the next pre-release brings a version from the new 7.3 tree.  

The default setting for updates is set for stable releases.  Thus, if someone downloaded a RC version, they would not receive the final version when released.

Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2021-03-27 15:50:33 UTC

I don't want to write anything wrong now, Gilles can correct me. You are already on version 7.2.0 with a pre-release version. So you would only be informed about a new version with digiKam-7.3.0. If you are using pre-releases anyway, you must also inform digiKam of this, because then the date will also be evaluated. And as a pre-release user you even get now digiKam 7.3.0 versions ...

Exactly. For stable release, the check for new version tool will start to work only with 7.3.0.

For unstable pre-release, the tool work already since one month.
