# Admin: GitHub Releases
|
|
|
|
The **GitHub** tab (in the **Integrations** group of the admin side navigation) shows the TREK release history fetched from GitHub and provides links to community resources and support options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Support and resources
|
|
|
|
The **About** card at the top of the tab holds six tiles that link to external resources:
|
|
|
|
| Card | Link |
|
|
|------|------|
|
|
| **Ko-fi** | Support the project financially |
|
|
| **Buy Me a Coffee** | Alternative support link |
|
|
| **Discord** | Join the TREK community |
|
|
| **Report a Bug** | Open a GitHub issue with the bug report template |
|
|
| **Feature Request** | Open a GitHub Discussion in the feature requests category |
|
|
| **Wiki** | Open the GitHub Wiki |
|
|
|
|
## Release timeline
|
|
|
|
Below it, the **Release History** card holds a chronological timeline lists GitHub releases for the `liketrek/TREK` repository. Each entry shows:
|
|
|
|
- **Version tag** (e.g., `v2.9.14`)
|
|
- A **Latest** badge on the first (most recent) entry in the displayed list, and a **Pre-release** badge on pre-releases
|
|
- **Release date** and author
|
|
- A **Show details / Hide details** toggle that expands the release notes (a small Markdown subset rendered inline: `##` and `###` headings, `-` or `*` list items, **bold**, `code` and http(s) links; anything else is shown as plain text)
|
|
|
|
Pre-release entries are hidden unless the server has both found a newer version and is itself running a pre-release. In every other case, including a pre-release install that is already on the newest pre-release, the timeline shows stable releases only.
|
|
|
|
Releases load 10 at a time. Click **Load more** at the bottom of the timeline to fetch additional pages.
|
|
|
|
If the admin API request fails, the card shows **Failed to load releases**. If the server cannot reach the GitHub API, the timeline displays no releases (the server returns an empty list rather than an error).
|
|
|
|
## Version check
|
|
|
|
The server checks for available updates daily at 9 AM (server timezone, defaults to UTC) and sends an admin notification when a newer version is published. When an update is available, a banner also appears at the top of the Admin page on next load.
|
|
|
|
Results are cached for 5 minutes to avoid repeated API calls.
|
|
|
|
## Release notes notice
|
|
|
|
After an update, every user is shown a **release notes** notice once: a modal on the desktop with what the release brought (three headline cards), a note from the maintainer, the support links and a **Release notes** link to the release on GitHub. Closing it keeps it closed for the version that is running; the next version brings it back once, a patch release included. It replaces the 4.0.0 notice. There is no switch for it in the admin panel.
|
|
|
|
## When to check
|
|
|
|
Review the GitHub tab before performing an upgrade to read the release notes for any versions between your current install and the target version. See [Updating](Updating) for the upgrade procedure.
