Ah that’s an interesting case. The ‘gnome’ updater checks for odd minor release numbers already. But in this case, it’s the ‘generic-html’ updater that kicks in, which is nice, except it doesn’t know about the odd/even scheme. So yes, we could have a property like you suggest that the ‘generic-html’ and ‘generic-git’ updaters (at least) would honor. Ludo’.
