• Download: Official homepage with installers for Linux, Windows, and macOS (see Getting Started > Installation).

Below the links, you’ll find a summary of changes from the last two releases. At the bottom right, you can enable or disable automatic update checks (see next section).

If the update is accepted and installed successfully, a confirmation will appear:
