Description

When a bundle is already in use when a new version is asked to be installed, the installation should probably happen at the next restart. The reasons are:

  • a bundle may already maintain package-specific data that will not be properly transferred if the bundle is simply unloaded, installed and reloaded.
  • a Windows DLL may be loaded and cannot be replaced by a newer version.

Fixed in 71769061.

When a package/module is already in use, the user is informed that the new version will be installed upon restart, rather than trying to unload/reload.
