Description Nicolas Fella 2024-11-16 00:46:16 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On Fedora open Discover 
2. Navigate to Neochat
3. In the source dropdown, select "Fedora Flatpaks"

OBSERVED RESULT
A message "This development version of NeoChat is outdated. Using the stable version is highly recommended." with a button "View Stable Version on Flathub". 

Clicking the button navigates to the Flathub version, which says "A more stable version of NeoChat is available." with a button "View Stable Version on Fedora Flatpaks".

Both versions are equally stable since they ship the same version (24.08.3)

EXPECTED RESULT
No claims that one version is more stable than the other when it's the exact same version



SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: master
KDE Frameworks Version: master
Qt Version: 6.8

Git commit e8ca73e52998639c5d6079d766b31d3186ca6f86 by Aleix Pol Gonzalez, on behalf of Nicolas Fella.
Committed on 30/07/2025 at 22:51.
Pushed by apol into branch 'master'.

Only show message for (outdated) beta Flatpaks for actual beta apps

Otherwise when there is more than one stable source (e.g. Flathub and Fedora Flatpaks) they would claim to be more stable or outdated than the other
