[outdated] Laragon > 6.0.0

[skaspy]

Hi!
Your Laragon package is still version 4.0.15. However, the latest Laragon version is 6.0.0 which was released back in September 2022.

You can find the latest Laragon version here: https://github.com/leokhoa/laragon/releases/tag/6.0.0
Could you update the package, please?
Thank you for your effort!

Hi @skaspy,

laragon-full.exe provided in Laragon package 4.0.15 is no longer provided since laragon 5.0.0
There are laragon-wamp.exe and laragon-wamp.x86.exe but there was already released in the previous version with laragon-full.exe, so it means "wamp" files are another builds... (https://github.com/leokhoa/laragon/releases)

You are welcome if you have more information. The point is to know if we can just replace laragon-full.exe with laragon-wamp.exe or if a new Chocolatey package should be created. The choice must not "disturb" the current users with Chocolatey package "Laragon 4.0.15" installed.

I have just accepted the Pull Request #89 to replace laragon-full.exe with laragon.exe, so it should solve your issue.

Thanks @chtof.

However I'm just re-looking at the changes in 5 & 6 and what's there.

The laragon.exe seems like it's actually just 2.06MB in Laragon 6 and Laragon 5 1.93 MB so I believe this may now also be incorrect and may need to be reverted. Laragon-full.exe was 132MB.

The 'upgrade documention' has now gone from the laragon forums but I believe you can simply paste in the new .exe into laragon to manually upgrade. Which is why it has been included in the releases.

However, in terms of upgrading the choco package, we may be able to upgrade it to look for 'laragon-wamp.exe'. Although I imagine this could cause issues for people just blindly upgrading to 6 as part of routine choco updates.

A better solution may be as you mentioned, a new Chocolatey package should be created. However, that would ( I guess ) mean, every new release we'd new a new package.. @chtof You are probably best positioned to decide on approach?

Hi chtof,

Thanks for your reply. Sadly, I don't have more information on Laragon and its compatibility with newer versions. Only tested the portable version 6.0.0 to see whether a few things that were giving me trouble in 4.0.15 are fixed and they were. However, I'd prefer to use Laragon install via choco than updating it manually every time.
The only info on how to update to version 6 I found here: leokhoa/laragon#405
