Subject: [PATCH manager 3/3] ui: workspace: prompt user for reload when UI packages were updated
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:35:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923113757.2202858-4-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923113757.2202858-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com>
When the UI packages (pve-manager, proxmox-widget-toolkit) are updated,
an already running Web UI instance still uses the potentially older
versions.
Detect that by comparing the version from the site load to the ones
reported from /cluster/resources (which is polled regularly) and prompt
the user to reload the UI.
The message box offers a 'Later' option so that ongoing work can be
finished before reloading. In that case the notice is shown in the top
bar until the user reloads.
