Update of user agent database

[budow...@gmail.com]

Hi,

During starting divolte in the log there is written

[UserAgentParserAndCache]: User agent parser data version: 20141024-01

Does it mean that divolte has user agent database from 2014 year?
Are there any plans to update it?

Unfortunately, yes. The UA database is that old. The project that Divolte relies on for UA parsing no longer provides updates, and has actually broken the update process in a way that when enabling auto-updates, it would overwrite the UA DB with an empty one. Basically, the UA parser project that Divolte uses changed licensing and pursued a different business model. Divolte was never modified to use a different provider. It should, but at present there doesn't really appear to be a viable alternative that can be used off line (i.e. doesn't involve external API calls). I presume many users only map the raw UA string and parse it at a later stage in their pipeline.
