Since Werk #15292 we only ship the Werks of the current major version with Checkmk. If the Checkmk instance has unacknowledged incompatible Werks, the update is interrupted to make the user aware of the fact that they will lose the information which Werks they have not acknowledged.
With this Werk, the process will be adapted:
Checkmk will still ship only with the Werks of the current major version, but the unacknowledged incompatible Werks will be copied from the version to the site during the update process, so the information which incompatible Werks have not been acknowledged will not be lost.
The copied Werks will age out: 1. They will be marked as acknowledged if they have been acknowledged (normal behaviour similar to the Werks that ship with the Checkmk version). 2. They will no longer be visible in the Checkmk Werks browser after they have been acknowledged and Checkmk was restarted. 3. They will be removed from the site, after hey have been acknowledged and another update has been performed.
On the website a Werk can have multiple Checkmk Versions. In Checkmk a Werk has only a single Version. In case the Werk is copied to the site the Version changes:
Example: Werk 123 was added to 2.4.0 and 2.5.0 and is incompatible. The user updates from 2.4.0 but has not acknowledged the Werk. It will be shown with a 2.4.0 Version in the Werks browser in the updated site. Once the Werk is acknowledged and the the site updated afterwards, the Werk will have a 2.5.0 Version and still be acknowledged.
