DeathNotificationLib

V7 — 2026-02-26

Unified Version Notification

• Extracted a shared _dnl.notifyNewerVersion(tag, remote_ver) function in ~VersionCheck.lua that owns all version-upgrade logic: updating newest_detected_version, printing the chat warning (once per addon per session), and firing HookOnNewerVersion callbacks
• ~VersionCheck.lua handlers (handleVersionAnnounce, handleNewerNotify) now delegate to notifyNewerVersion instead of duplicating the print/hook logic inline
• ~Sync.lua _checkAddonVersionHint now delegates to notifyNewerVersion after its 3-peer quorum is met, removing its own duplicate warned table, newest_detected_version update, print, and hook-firing code
• Both modules share the same warned_versions table (keyed by tag), so a notification from any source (social-channel V$/N$ or sync-watermark quorum) permanently suppresses further warnings for that addon until /reload
• Swapped load order in DeathNotificationLib.xml: ~VersionCheck.lua now loads before ~Sync.lua so the shared function is available when Sync initialises

Bug Fix: Multiple Version Warnings Per Session

• Previously, each distinct newer version string produced a separate chat warning (e.g. v2.0 then v3.0 would print twice); now only one warning per addon per session is shown
• newest_detected_version continues to be silently updated if an even newer version is seen later
