Strange upgrade suggestion in log (from 5.x to 3.x)

Hello all,
I had a not so updated version of WebGrab+Plus (5.1.4.0) on Windows 11 PC and today looking at log files I noticed that the script was suggesting me to upgrade to version 3.3.0, linking me to the URL: http://webgrabplus.com/download/sw/v3.3.0.

It's quite strange because I already have the new 5.x version installed.

Anyway I manually went to the 5.x download page and updated with the right major version and all was fine.

I just wanted to report the strange (and confusing) upgrade message.
(sorry I don't have the log to send because I already updated and re-run the script so the log was overwritten)

Thanks.
Maurizio.

what ini?
easy fix is edit the ini and near the top change the..
* @MinSWversion: Vx.x
to something lower than ur wg version ur using,in ur case V3.3
so..
* @MinSWversion: V3.0
would get rid of the message.

also its just warning message that u shud be using a updated version.
if everything works fine u can ignore itor do as i said above to get rid if it.

i would always keep it updated to latest version.
if u have issues with V3.3 then there's no support.
V3.3 is many updates behind the latest V5.x version.

Thanks for your fast answer Blackbear199.

"to something lower than ur wg version ur using,in ur case V3.3"
As the ini files, perhaps you misunderstood what I wrote, because I'm already at the 5.x branch.

I agree with you to always use the latest version, and infact I was already using the 5.x branch, the V3.3 is too old and based on an old framework too. Manually upgrading to 5.3.0.0 got rid of the message.

I was only confused by the suggestion to "downgrade" from 5.x to 3.x. and post here to notify if there's something wrong at code side in the version check procedure :)

Thanks and Happy Christmas !!
