Hi,  
I am trying to get the **latest FB8-version** and save it to variable so I can do something like:  
if update\_available == true  
return “A newer Version is available”  
**or**  
if available\_fb8\_version \> current\_fb8\_version:  
print( “A newer Version is available”)  
else:

I can get current FB8-Version with " **Extract Version Info"-Action**

Is there any possibility to get available FB8-version in **float** form? Or maybe you have another issue.

Maxim

There isn’t any automatic way to do this, not something that has come up recently.  
Since we generally publish to Chocolatey when a new version is released, you could use it, see attached example.
