Latest-release.json is empty?

I am currently using “https://mkvtoolnix.download/latest-release.xml” and I am trying to remove the XML parser in favor of a JSON parser (reduce code size as getting the version is the only remaining use of XML in my project). But I notice that “https://mkvtoolnix.download/latest-release.json” is empty.

Is the JSON version deprecated, or just not currently ?updated

Oh… I hadn’t been aware. I’ll look into it. It’s not deprecated, it should be populated. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

The problem’s been fixed. Thanks again.

Interestingly enough this has always been broken, I just never realized it. The reason is that I use different styles for releases.xml vs latest-release.xml: the former uses attributes to store most text while the latter uses text inside elements (technically a text child node of an element node). My conversion script only ever handled the former, not the latter, meaning the resulting releases.json was fine where latest-release.json had always been broken :disappointed_face:

Thank you, confirmed the JSON is populated with the version number.
