News: Release the NC13 compatible version on the app store

[severin-lemaignan]

I've switched to NC13 beta, and I sorely miss my favourite news reader. Any chance to have the latest version released and publish on the app store soon?

Generally there is a risk of not having all apps available when switching to beta, so I can understand if the devs don't want to release a version of 13 beta, but in this case it's also required because nextcloud 12 is not compatible with PHP 7.2, so anyone who has upgraded to PHP 7.2 without reading about that, they will have to upgrade to nextcloud13 beta to make it work again (other than downgrading half a dozen packages in some cases, which can break other things).

And as you can figure out, I did that, and now I am without my news reader. 😞

As a workaround, you can edit the nextcloud/apps/news/appinfo/info.xml file and change the dependencies> nextcloud entry to say something like <nextcloud min-version="12" max-version="13"/> as third-party apps have no obligation to update their apps to be compatible with a new NextCloud version.

@erezschatz thanks for the workaround!

The code was updated for NC 13: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/commit/44245fda63a00c0d6f4a44295b1457d9d23a9f84

Could you please also update the nextcloud apps website?

Apparently https://github.com/nextcloud/news/issues/239 is a release blocker

Ok, #239 is confirmed to be a regression in server. I will release a version for 13 now. You guys will need to wait for a fix from the Nextcloud side until the app works properly again ;)

I am using latest release 12.0 with NC13 beta, but my feeds do not get updated.
With:
php /var/www/nextcloud/occ news:updater:update-feed $id $user
I can update them.

Strange now the above command gives me:

php /var/www/nextcloud/occ news:updater:update-feed 1 tobi
Could not update feed with id 1 and user tobi: Did not expect more than one result when executing: query "SELECT `items`.* FROM `*PREFIX*news_items` `items` JOIN `*PREFIX*news_feeds` `feeds` ON `feeds`.`id` = `items`.`feed_id` AND `feeds`.`deleted_at` = 0 AND `feeds`.`user_id` = ? AND `items`.`guid_hash` = ? AND `feeds`.`id` = ? LEFT OUTER JOIN `*PREFIX*news_folders` `folders` ON `folders`.`id` = `feeds`.`folder_id` WHERE `feeds`.`folder_id` = 0 OR `folders`.`deleted_at` = 0 ORDER BY `items`.`id` DESC"; parameters Array
(
    [0] => tobi
    [1] => bff50fcc8b1411474da7593576a1631a
    [2] => 1
)
; limit ""; offset "" 

So there is no update of feeds possible :-(
