Internal repository

Updates checker
- For each of your extension, you can easily check for updates
- If you uploaded a new version for an extension in the repository, click "Check for updates" and the component will show up "New version is available".
- If your extension is configured to use external update service, it will search for updates on developer repository.
Version comparison
- Compare files from user setup with the new version files
- Compare files content
- Highlight new files, changed by developer, changed by user, deleted by developer, modified by both developer and user
Upgrade and back-up user setup
- After the comparison of the user setup with latest version, click "Update" for the extension
- Re-apply user customization and check for any malfunctions caused by the code changes
- Roll-back to the previous setup if the update and customizations reapplied don't work properly
Remote install and upgrade
- Configure external update service and login to your desired extension's website with JA Extensions Manager interface to access downloads.
- You can upload extensions from a remote address and the repository will keep the installation package in the jaextmanager_data folder for future usage.
- Repository will keep both initial user setup before the update and the new version of the extension to allow user to easily rollback later.
- When you apply customizations to the new version, and then rollback, this new and customized version will be also stored in the repository.
AJAX technology
