Why isn't the "Update available" tag visible when a new version is released?

Updated: 2024-11-21 MAIA

There could be several reasons why the new release of an external artifact doesn't get an "Update available"-tag.

For example:

1. The artifact source address (Homepage/Vcs/Alt.link) doesn't represent a repository hosting service with an API that MAIA is integrated with.
2. The Information Services has not updated the information yet (the cache is not renewed).
3. The version number and date are ambiguous.
4. The version number and date cannot be interpreted by MAIA.
