Thanks for the feedback on being able to identify the process of the staged rollouts that are in effect.

Hi Chris
This feature is great addition and we plan to use it soon.
However we have the same question about the status of the deployment. Once we know 10% of users received the update, we will wait for a few weeks and then increase it to 20% and so on.
Second question – what happens if out of 10% of users having available the update, only 5% decides to update? Again we need to know how many users updated to the new version so that we can increase the reach to more users if the intake rate is initially low.

I’ll add another feature request as well 🙂

What would be really great, if the increase in percentage could be automated, e.g.
– initial: 10%
– after 5 days, increase to 25%
– another 5 days: 100%

This way, only if issues are encountered the process will be stopped (e.g. by increasing the number of days for the next stage).

In all other situations, you don’t have to remember to keep upgrading the percentage, and the plugin will be gradually get released.

Hey Rogier.

Right now we don’t have a way to let you know that the stage has been completed, however I’ll log that as a feature request so our team can look into it.

If you increase from 10% to 60%, the system will keep counting from overall users, it will not reset the count.

A great feature, until now we did this by not changing the version number, which effectively made it available to new customers only. This makes it much more flexible.

Some questions spring to mind: if I first set it to 10%, is there a way to know when that 10% has been reached?

And if I push it to 60%, will the system keep counting from overall users, or will it restart the count, taking 60% of the remaining 90%?
