Was the update withdrawn, or why isn’t it available?

Maybe, but I’m speculating here, updates have been withdrawn because of [BUG]: Push notifications broken | v32.0.10, v33.0.4 | Error: Call to a member function getAppValueString() on null · Issue #3035 · nextcloud/notifications · GitHub

But then why the e-mails sent on June 1st?

And why the pinned news in the forums everywhere at the top?


My NC server does not detect the update.

And sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ update:check only gives two app updates, no server update.

I’m also seeing this:

$ php updater.phar
Nextcloud Updater - version: v33.0.2-6-g02c3af1

Current version is 33.0.3.

No update available.

Nothing to do.

Still the same issue since some days:

root@DebianServerVM2:~# sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ update:check
Nextcloud 33.0.3 is available. Get more information on how to update at https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/33/admin_manual/maintenance/upgrade.html.
1 update available
root@DebianServerVM2:~# 

But at Nextcloud server changelog Version 32.0.10 is available. Also Version 33.0.4.

So maybe something is wrong with updater?

PS: and at nextcloud-releases / server are both Versions (32.0.10 and 33.0.4) also available for download as both tar.bz- and zip-Files

Oh, and I’m well aware, of course, that I could upgrade manually.

However, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing so at the moment, as I don’t know why an upgrade isn’t being offered via the admin web interface. What if versions 32.0.10 and 33.0.4 contain bugs?

So why isn’t the reason being published here as to why an upgrade via the admin web interface isn’t currently available?

Nextcloud 33.0.5 is now available.

indeed, and Nextcloud 32.0.11 is now available too.

root@DebianServerVM2:~# sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ update:check
Nextcloud 32.0.11 is available. Get more information on how to update at https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/32/admin_manual/maintenance/upgrade.html.

I first had to open the /settings/admin/overview page to make the 33.0.5 update appear. Before that, nothing, even the API (Home Assistant integration) did not signal any update. Really strange this time.

There are a few odd things about the May/June update. The Nextcloud changelog page still only mentions versions 32.0.10 and 33.0.4. Versions 32.0.11 and 33.0.5, on the other hand, are not. The same applies to Updates for Nextcloud Hub 25 Autumn & 26 Winter, right before our spring release - Nextcloud, where a text block prompts users to update to 32.0.10 or 33.0.4.

Please update to a new version to keep your data safe!

If you are using Nextcloud Hub 25 Autumn or Nextcloud Hub 26 Winter, we strongly recommend you to update to version 32.0.10 and 33.0.4 respectively. Maintenance updates include important bug fixes, stability and security upgrades. It is a quick and safe process, as always!

I find it particularly annoying that versions 32.0.11 and 33.0.5 are missing from the changelog. This means you don’t know what has actually been changed or improved in these versions compared to the previous ones.

The explanation for why 33.0.5 was released outside the normal release cycle is given in the GitHub issue linked above.

As for why these changes haven’t yet been reflected on the website and why the forum banner is still pointing users to 33.0.4, I shared a possible explanation here:

https://help.nextcloud.com/t/why-33-0-5-earlier-than-expected/245389/2?u=bb77

That said, I can’t provide an official explanation either, so your guess is as good as mine. :wink:

This 33.0.4 caused me a lot of pain. It is unacceptable to me that Nextcloud did not post any information about 33.0.4 being withdrawn. In fact i got several mails about how important it was to update to 33.0.4.

I updated asap it appeared and got some push notifications error in talk. Basically it was a major failure and I needed to downgrade to previous 33.x version. Push notifications were back to normal, but when I wanted to go another try with the 33.0.4 it was not appearing and my instance said “your version is up to date”.

From there I spent MANY hours trying to figure out the issue (going through all kind of logs).

Then when 33.0.5 suddenly appeared the other day I understood that my suspicions was correct.

Please developers… push a note in the future :frowning:
