Versions (for VI Software Launcher)

Simple system for managing launcher version compatibility via a GitHub repository.

How It Works

1. Check if version is in supported list --> ✅ Allow, no force update
2. Check if version is in deprecated list --> ✅ Allow, just show a warning
3. Version not found anywhere OR below minimumRequired --> ❌ Force update

Version Patterns

Pattern	Matches
2.2.0	Exact version
2.2.*	All 2.2.x versions
^2.1.0	>=2.1.0 <3.0.0
~2.1.0	>=2.1.0 <2.2.0
>=2.0.0	All versions >= 2.0.0

How It Works

1. API fetches versions.json from this repo
2. Results are cached for 1 hour
3. When someone pushes changes, GitHub Actions calls the refresh endpoint
4. Cache clears immediately, next request gets fresh data
