Collabora updates are undetected

[AssassinTee]

Describe the bug

When updating the collabora server (maybe automatically by unattended-upgrades) the app doesn't notice a version change. I got a lot of logs with version-mismatch errors. This was solved simply by pressing "save" again at the configuration page for the server, which then updated the version nexctloud thought it has.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. have a collabora server
2. have a nextcloud
3. update collabora server
4. See version update not beeing detected

Expected behavior Since you show the version and a successful connection in the app, I expected version updates to be automatically detected. This is either a bug-report or a feature-request.

Server details

Operating system: Ubuntu24.04

Web server: yes

Database: yes

PHP version: 8.2

Nextcloud version: 29.0.3

Version of the richdocuments app 8.4.8

Version of Collabora Online before: 24.04.8.(something), now 24.04.9.3-1

Configuration of the richdocuments app No need

Can you share which kind of logs you got with the version mismatch? Nextcloud should refetch the capabilities/discovery endpoints of collabora regularly, so they might be outdated for some time i would not expect that to cause issues.

Maybe we can consider doing the background update more often. We have it moved to a dedicated background job with Nextcloud 30 but that only runs one an hour which might be not frequent enough https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/blob/a9c36fd88f2b6d8b5a0fe32ef1e14dbf8f25cc39/lib/Backgroundjobs/ObtainCapabilities.php#L26

As I wrote above, we are currently at nextcloud 29.0.3, but I am glad to hear that his is already done for nextcloud 30!

I was able to reproduce this with nextcloud 29.0.3 and coolwsd version 24.04.9.3 upgraded to 24.04.9.4

@pedropintosilva Do you have any idea why the hash would be outdated here? I imagine the URL for browser.html is not up to date, but why would that cause old urls to be called for any other JS/CSS files?
