Correct APIVersion but addon "out-of-date"?
 

So, someone recently commented on one of my addons (uploaded within the past few days, and brand new) to inform me that it was marked as "out-of-date" in-game. I assumed either it was an error on my part (typo or forgot to modify the file when I copied it from my template) or an error on their part.

However, the manifest appears correct http://i.imgur.com/haAZ6PC.png

But the addon is marked out-of-date http://i.imgur.com/RRq8Rnf.png

However, another addon which I wrote today has the exact same manifest http://i.imgur.com/lvkHVX0.png

And is not marked as out-of-date http://i.imgur.com/Ws13wmK.png

As an experiment, I copied the manifest file of the functional addon over the top of the existing one, changing the description and title, but it still is marked as out-of-date.

I can't see what I could possibly be doing wrong here. I'm obviously missing something, and hopefully it's something simple, but I just can't put my finger on what it is.

please the zip of the addon in error.

I would say a totally dumb user, or something like end of line badly set (one line unix style, one in windows).. maybe a unicode issue.

But with screenshot and only notepad, we won't find the cause easily.

It's this addon, I thought it might've been a line-ending issue which is why I copied and pasted the functional add-on over, but it didn't appear to change.

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1...ePreviews.html This is the addon that does not show as out-of-date.

Problem is here.

Ah! Finally. I didn't expect that at all, but at least I know how to fix it. No idea what caused it in the first place though...

Maybe the text editor you are using? See if it has a symbols mode, usually handy for finding those things!

It's Notepad++

Hex editor is a plugin.

If you are curious what those bytes are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark

I think the Notepad application that comes with Windows will insert those bytes if you choose UTF-8 as the encoding when saving. If you use Notepad and don't want those bytes, make sure the encoding is set to ANSI when you save. Another solution is to use a different text editor.

Thanks for that. I usually use gvim to modify everything but when editing manifests and all I'm doing is bumping the API version I usually just double-click them to open them in Notepad.

Curse you, Notepad!
