Description rxappdev 2026-01-16 12:54:54 UTC

SUMMARY
Since 6th or 7th of January 2026, no Addon updates are visible in Discover and System Settings.
Correct/latest version seems to be installed when manually installing addons (manually via System Settings > Get New...). However existing users are never notified an update is available (it does not show up for them in Discover or System Settings as an Update button). Thus users are unable to install critical bug fixes to scripts/addons unless they first delete the old version, then manually download the new version.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover
2. Click Plasma Addons
3. Click Window Manager Scripts
4. Click Remember Window Positions
5. Go back one step
6. Click Mouse Tiler

OBSERVED RESULT
4. Remember Window Positions Version shows 5.1.0
6. Mouse Tiler Version shows 1.2.0

EXPECTED RESULT
4. Remember Window Positions Version shows 5.2.0 (also had version 5.1.1 available since Jan 8th)
6. Mouse Tiler Version shows 2.0.0 (available since 2 days ago, also had version 1.2.1 available since Jan 7th)


ACTUAL STEPS TO REPRODUCE (this is the way I found the issue)
1. Install an Addon
2. Wait for an update to release
3. (Expected) Get an update notification in Discover > Updates or get an Update button in System Settings > Window Management > KWin Scritps > Get New... > Remember Window Positions or Mouse Tiler

OBSERVED RESULT
3. This step never happens

EXPECTED RESULT
3. Get an update notification in Discover > Updates or get an Update button in System Settings > Window Management > KWin Scritps > Get New... > Remember Window Positions or Mouse Tiler
