Hello. Anybody else having trouble trying to update the Astronvim config to the latest? I'm seeing an odd behavior where no notifications show up and thought of updating everything but it didn't work. Looks like there are lots of breaking changes in the 4.x.x Astronvim release, I'll try to figure it out later this week, but the Practicalli Astronvim docs might need updating.

And in case anyone has experienced this issue with the notifications and knows where the problem is, let me know. I've had this since I last updated the Astronvim repo a few months ago, but have been winging it.

I update AstroNvim using SPS p A, every 1 or two weeks. The only issue I had was with a couple of breaking packages, which could be removed using X and installed again using i all from the lazy popup in AstroNvim/Neovim. I will check which version I installed and check to see if a newer one is available

Ah, just noticed you are talking about AstroNvim 4.x I haven't tried that yet. I didn't know it hade been released yet. I believe there are some significant changes, so there is no guarantee that Practicalli AstroNvim Config will work.

There is a migration guide for AstroNvim 4.x which describes some very significant changes. https://docs.astronvim.com/configuration/v4_migration/ Don't use SPC p A to upgrade to 4.x version, it will probably break quite badly. For the moment, only consider Practicalli AstroNvim compatible with 3.x releases of AstroNvim

I will create a new repository for Practicalli AstroNvim User Config 4 using the AstroNvim 4 template, as it's quite different. I already use https://docs.astronvim.com/reference/alt_install/#isolated-installation, so this makes it easy to switch between V3 and V4 versions of AstroNvim, allowing me use V3 existing config to write a new config for V4.

Cool! I use isolated environment myself, so I'm playing with the config using that migration guide to see what I get.
