Check for Updates

After the first installation, you can either check manually for updates or allow the program to check each time it starts.

Manual check for updates

To manually check for updates, navigate to the menu Help > Check for Updates .... Figure 1 will briefly appear.

Figure 1. Checking for updates.

Either no updates are available; indicating that your version is up-to-date or figure 2 will be shown; the correct version will of course be different in the future.

Figure 2. Checking for updates.

To install the most recent version, click OK. To cancel the update and stay with the old version, click Cancel.

There are three links at the top of the panel. New & Noteworthy provides detailed information about the changes in the latest version but also about all previous releases. The Change Log link leads to the Github page of the project where all (previous) releases are described. The download link takes you to the homepage; where you can download the program for the different operating systems (Linux, Windows, macOS); see Getting Started > Installation.

Below the links, you can find an overview of the changes in the last two releases. At the bottom right, you can enable the automatic check for updates (see below).

Automatic check for updates

Automatic checking for updates is enabled by default. You can change this setting in the menu Help > Settings > Updates > Check for updates on start (see figure 3).
