@Ilia - Really appreciate your effort in systematically releasing updates for your Authentic Theme and note that 19.82 is the latest.

However, the confusing aspect is that your latest updates are not compatible with stable releases of Webmin and Usermin as one would expect them to be released in conjunction with one another.

I currently run the latest stable version of Webmin 1.973, Virtualmin 6.16 Pro, and Usermin 1.823 for which the compatible Authentic Theme is 19.73 released on March 04 and that seems way behind the latest theme release.

Is there any way of coordinating these releases to avoid this confusion?

Regards.

However, the confusing aspect is that your latest updates are not compatible with stable releases of Webmin and Usermin as one would expect them to be released in conjunction with one another.

This is understandable. I will improve this in the future to reduce confusion. Most of the time I try to avoid creating a dependency with unreleased version of Webmin/Usermin, unless necessary. What I will do in the future, I will document why exactly a dependency was created at the first place, to be clear.

For example, the dependencies is such are created when Webmin API receives a new subroutine that a new theme release relies on (major change, which will lead to a fatal breakage). Although, more often those dependencies are minor, and cannot be noticed in regular day use.

Is there any way of coordinating these releases to avoid this confusion?

Virtualmin repos receive Webmin updates with a certain delay for the particular reason.

Shall I upgrade or I’m fine?

I don’t remember making breaking changes this time. It shall work. However, for anyone reading it, I would suggest waiting for the official release of Webmin 1.980, which will ship the latest Authentic Theme 19.82. Nevertheless, if you feel comfortable rolling back the latest installed theme version using theme-update.sh script (in case something goes wrong), then go ahead and give it a try. It won’t damage anything, even though some things may not work as designed.
