JSON API PluginList doesn't show available updates after v4.2.10.3

[Rutger]

The JSON API PluginList isn't showing available updates anymore in my case.
I'm sure it was working fine with beta 4.2.10.3
It isn't working anymore in beta 4.2.10.5, nor in the latest release 4.2.11.0

Screenshot Plugin page:


When loading the url "<homeseer url>/JSON?request=pluginlist", the result shows no available updates, although AKShelly and SmartThings should have an update available.

I just tested this with version 4.2.11.0 and then 4.2.8.0, so the current release and the previous release.
Installed an old version of Sample Plugin, because all plugins were up to date. I did see the Update Available icon on the Manage Plugins page.
For me VersionAvailable is empty with version 4.2.8.0 too. So it may have broken earlier.

Anyway, it seems to be buggy and should be looked at, but HST may not read it here. You should probably mention it in the threads for the latest release or latest/upcoming beta.

I actually downgraded to 4.2.0.0 on my development machine and still get an empty VersionAvailable. So it seems the problem is not the program, but rather the data it's retrieving.
