Summary

Add a setting to control whether the updates.xml feed is hidden entirely without a valid license key, or whether the feed is visible but downloads are gated.

Options

  • Hide feed: Return empty <updates></updates> when no valid key (current behavior)
  • Gate downloads only: Show the feed (so Joomla can display available updates) but require a valid key to download the .zip. Joomla shows a "Download Key" field when <downloadkey> is present in the feed.

Why

Akeeba Backup Pro shows available updates to all users but gates the actual download. This is better UX — users know an update exists and are prompted to enter their key. Hiding the feed entirely makes it look like no updates exist.

Implementation

Add a FeedVisibility field to UpdateStreamConfig:

  • hide_without_key (current behavior)
  • show_feed_gate_download (Akeeba-style)

Merged into #347 (download gating). The three-mode DownloadGating field (none/prerelease/all) covers configurable feed visibility.
