# Driver Version Check
## Overview
Checks the latest GitHub release for each AWS Advanced Driver wrapper and compares it to the version documented in the project's markdown files.
## Usage
Use this skill when:
- Checking if any driver has a new release
- Running scheduled version monitoring (cron jobs)
- Updating the markdown files with new versions
- Comparing documented vs actual latest versions
## Core Concepts
### Tracked Drivers
| Driver | MD File | GitHub Releases URL | Current Documented Version |
|--------|---------|--------------------|-----------------------------|
| JDBC Wrapper | `jdbc.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-advanced-jdbc-wrapper/releases/latest` | 4.5.0 |
| Python Wrapper | `python.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-advanced-python-wrapper/releases/latest` | 3.1.0 |
| Node.js Wrapper | `nodejs.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-advanced-nodejs-wrapper/releases/latest` | 3.0.1 |
| .NET Wrapper | `dotnet.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-advanced-dotnet-data-provider-wrapper/releases/latest` | 3.0.0 |
| Ruby Wrapper | `ruby.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-advanced-ruby-driver-wrapper/releases/latest` | 1.0.1 |
| Go Wrapper | `go.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-advanced-go-wrapper/releases/latest` | 2026-10-09 |
| ODBC PostgreSQL Wrapper | `odbc.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-advanced-odbc-wrapper/releases/latest` | 1.3.1 |
| MySQL ODBC Driver | `odbc.md` | `https://github.com/aws/aws-mysql-odbc/releases/latest` | 1.2.1 |
### How to Check
For each driver, fetch the GitHub releases latest redirect URL:
```
https://github.com/{org}/{repo}/releases/latest
```
This redirects to the actual tag URL, revealing the latest version.
Alternatively, use the GitHub API:
```
https://api.github.com/repos/{org}/{repo}/releases/latest
```
The `tag_name` field contains the latest version.
### Procedure
1. For each driver in the table above, use `web_fetch` on the GitHub releases/latest URL
2. Extract the version from the redirected URL or page content
3. Compare against the documented version in the table
4. Report any mismatches
### Reporting Format
```
## Driver Version Report
| Driver | Documented | Latest | Status |
|--------|-----------|--------|--------|
| JDBC | 4.0.1 | 4.0.2 | ⚠️ UPDATE NEEDED |
| Python | 2.1.0 | 2.1.0 | ✅ Current |
...
```
### Updating Versions
When a new version is found, update:
1. The "Latest Version" line in the relevant `.md` file
2. Any version references in code examples (Maven/Gradle/pip/npm coordinates)
3. Any download URLs containing the version number
