I have been struggling to get messages to appear when I update my plugin. I have some feedback from users that they are not appearing. For me, my sublime points to my development directory so I don’t use package control for my particular plugin in the normal course of events.
But this time I switched to package control myself and waited for the updated to show up to see if it would work. I saw that it was updated in my console output, but still, no message was shown. Is it just me (I sure hope so!) or is there a general problem? Here’s my messages.json file:
{
"install": "messages/install.txt",
"2.0.0": "messages/v2.0.0.txt",
"2.0.2": "messages/v2.0.2.txt",
"2.0.4": "messages/v2.0.4.txt",
"2.0.5": "messages/v2.0.5.txt",
"2.0.6": "messages/v2.0.6.txt",
"2.0.7": "messages/v2.0.7.txt",
"2.0.8": "messages/v2.0.8.txt",
"2.1.0": "messages/v2.1.0.txt",
"2.1.1": "messages/v2.1.1.txt",
"2.1.2": "messages/v2.1.2.txt",
"2.1.3": "messages/v2.1.3.txt",
"2.1.4": "messages/v2.1.4.txt",
"2.1.5": "messages/v2.1.5.txt",
"2.1.6": "messages/v2.1.6.txt",
"2.1.7": "messages/v2.1.7.txt",
}
and my files are here:

I am pretty sure the install.txt file showed up when I first installed from the package manager, so I must be on the right track.
I’d happily go to town experimenting with this, but I don’t want to annoy the people who are actually using this plugin with a billion updates as I muddle my way through this.
Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? Is it the “v” in the file names? Should I lose the ‘v’ prefix?
