For the store, as we push mandatory updates (such that people who donated once keep getting their security fixes), there comes the time when we _need_ to major-upgrade ~everyone. Right now, the number of users from the Windows store is low, so we can experiment a bit perhaps. There's four options that I currently see: 1. publish every major update as a completely new product (which would currently mean that people need to pay again - or risk running unmaintained versions) 2. switch everyone with a forced update to the new major version on day one 3. switch everyone with a forced update to the new major version at some suitable later date (as happened here) 4. switch everyone with a forced update to the latest major version at the time the still version becomes EOLed There's potentially more nuances (keeping a major update optional for a while), but that's a bit in flux currently, what the Store allows technically. I did consider option 3 a good compromise between end-user and project needs, so opted for that. But the project might want to consider other regimes (or we could test them out). There's also perhaps a bit of a risk contradicting our still/fresh release branding too much on the stores. > Thorsten Behrens wrote: > > We're now shipping all available langs with the Store App. If there's > > still issues with e.g. French users to obtain the version, please let > > me know! > > > > Sounds like big news.

It's more of a bugfix in my mind (though the package size is really quite a bit more bulky than the original MSI...).
