Yahnis Elsts 76019713e8 If there's no external update to display, remove any cached update info WordPress might have about the plugin. This is a significant change from previous behaviour where the library would leave the value of the "update_transients" unmodified if there were no updates available. That worked fine at the time because WP wouldn't re-save the injected update to the DB. So when no updates were available, old cached updates wouldn't show up either. However, this appears to have changed - in some cases, the injected update sticks around even if the plugin is no longer injecting it. This patch counters that. Drawback: If you use this library in a plugin that's hosted on wordpress.org, it will overwrite any update data from wordpress.org with its own and effectively disable wordpress.org updates for your plugin (doesn't affect other plugins).	2012-10-23 16:35:35 +00:00
