Issue Summary
Now that #155450: backport separate {cache_update_status} table and private non-volatile cache API from D6 core has landed, I'd like to ship a 5.x-2.4 ASAP. However, before I do, the following need to be done:
#431148: Make it easier to visually distinguish security updates on Updates report
#267724: Misleading instructions after enabling a module.
#235425: HEAD release always considered Not Supported during cron (this is a cvs_deploy issue, but I want to make sure the D5 backport works before tagging update_status).
Comments
#1
Ok, all of those are now fixed. The end of the DRUPAL-5--2 branch hereby needs review. If you're using cvs_deploy, don't forget to update that to the end of DRUPAL-5, too, so you get the fix for #235425: HEAD release always considered Not Supported during cron.

Release need to point about visiting update.php (very big error message show on every page)
So now updates not fetched every time I visit admin/logs/update - tnx dww

andypost: I'm trying to make sense of your comment. ;) I think you're just saying I should mention the need to visit update.php in the release notes (which I said I was planning to do). Otherwise, everything works great? ;) Thanks for testing!
#4
Everything works great except big error message of non-existent table!
#5
Great. Well, there's nothing I can really do about that error message -- people need to run update.php after they upgrade.
#6
Actually, there are a few update.module core issues that I'd like to consider backporting before shipping 5.x-2.4:
#445748: Add hook_update_projects_alter()
#243253: Update status module can cause white screen if the check for updates takes too long
I'd also like to consider:
#386636: Can't ignore unsupported projects

Hi, Derek. I'm having to update a high-volume site and wanted to get the most recent versions while I'm at it. Do you have any kind of a time line on this?
#8
I've been trying very hard for the past 2 weeks to deal with all the fallout and related issues. As you can see, almost every issue referenced in here is now fixed (in all versions of core -- no small feat!). The only pair of related issues that aren't yet committed are:
#445748: Add hook_update_projects_alter()
#162788: Include modules that aren't enabled
Probably I should just commit the hook invocation from #445748 and punt on the new feature from #162788... However, there's a slight problem with the #445748 backport that requires more thought (and code) before that's committable...
Anyway, my goal is still ASAP on this release...
#9
Okay, for the moment then I will go with 2.3.
#10
@NancyDru: you could try 5.x-2.x-dev. It's pretty darn close to release. ;)
#11
Ugh. Sorry for the delays, here. :( Life intervened...
Anyway, I think all the issues I care about for D5 update_status are now committed to DRUPAL-5--2 branch. If anyone is able to test 5.x-2.x-dev or the end of the DRUPAL-5--2 branch, I'd be very grateful. I've done some testing, but it's not exhaustive. But, I'd really like to tag and release 5.x-2.4 ASAP, as in this week. Real Soon Now(tm). ;)
Thanks!

I can do some testing on this shortly.
#13
Tested project ordering, disabled modules, and timestamps and it's all working great. Even hacked around .info files and played with really old datestamps in one sub-module and it picked up the latest datestamp value from the second sub-module. Messing with everything else worked as expected.
Let's release baby!

OMG was this long overdue!
