Fixed in build 249

Added error message: Your version of MediaMonkey for Windows is outdated. Please update to be able to sync.

Verified basic functionality in 249

If you agree each MMA version should have Minimal recommended MMW version (one we tested apron) and should bring outdated version against that version and not base one (1692)

There are a couple of issues with the current functionality:
a) The error message doesn't indicate to the user what version of MMW needs to be installed. i.e. it's unclear whether they have to update to the current release build OR to a recent beta build. But in the absence of a message, most users would assume that updating to the latest release build is all that is required. If that is the extent of the functionality required, we should update the message to:

Your version of MediaMonkey for Windows is outdated. Please update to the current release to sync.

b) On the other hand, if, as pointed out by Peke, we want to notify users to install MMW 1704 (currently a beta build) since it's required for certain bugs to be fixed, then the message would have to be updated to something like:

Your version of MediaMonkey for Windows is outdated. Please update to version 4.1.2.1704+.

Unfortunately, some users may not realize that they need to download the app from the beta forum, but this may be preferable nonetheless.

To clarify what exactly of problematic when Updating both MMA and MMW is needed due the bug fixes in both apps that interfere with Sync (we changed sync process in both apps)

For Example I used current MMA/MMW versions (249/1704) and sync initiated over Wi-Fi using MMA. Picture show Current and Updated checks.

NOTES:
1. To get new workflow both MMA and MMW needs to have correct Minimal version requirement (according to bugfixes in sync procedure) for Optimal sync and act apron.

2. MMW home page should state MMW/MMA Releases more quickly (both stable and Beta) along with link to download links where BUY will always point to Stable release as currently

Please note, that we always tried to have sync backward compatible. But some time ago we made a one big change in workflow to optimize the speed of sync 0011233. It was backward compatible but it wasn't well working in one specific usecase. Now I have removed the backward compatibility to be able to work correctly in this usecase.

It is a quite a long time since new workflow have been introduced. It was a build 1657 (not 1692). I will correct the message to show user the minimum build. I think that most users already have compatible version of MMW.

I don't think that we will do this quite often because we want to have both apps (MMA and MMW) always backward compatible. But of course we can implement something like Peke suggests.

Changing the target to 1.3.1 since there's no reason to wait for 1.3.2.

Due to 0014594, shouldn't MMA 745+ check for MMW 4.1.20 ?
