Auto-update
When a new version is out, a titlebar accent pill announces it. Click it to install via download → restart. It checks once automatically when you launch the app, and you can also check directly from the About window.
New-version notification (titlebar pill)
When a new version is detected, an accent pill appears on the right of the titlebar. Click it to proceed to install; press close to hide just that notification.
The pill label changes with progress.
- New version — click to start installing.
- Downloading — shows progress.
- Ready to install — restart to switch to the new version.
- Failed — click to try again.
Download · restart install
Clicking the pill opens a confirmation dialog before installing. If you agree, it downloads and installs the new version and restarts the app. Cancel and nothing is downloaded — you return to the notification state.
Boot check · manual About check
Update checks come in two paths — once automatically when the app launches, and directly via the Check for Updates button in the About window. The two share their result, so a new version found in About also appears in the titlebar pill.
Signing · release notes
Updates are verified by signature, so a tampered build won't install. Release notes (the changes) are generated automatically from commits and shown in both the GitHub release and the in-app notification — they're not written by hand.
DEV unsupported · platform constraints
Auto-update is for release builds only. Development (dev) builds have no automatic boot check, and pressing Check for Updates only shows an unsupported notice.
