Check for Updates
After installation, you can check for updates manually or let the program check automatically on startup.
Manual Check for Updates
To check manually, select Help > Check for Updates .... A dialog like the one below will briefly appear:
If no updates are available, you will see a confirmation that your version is current. Otherwise, an update dialog will appear (the version shown will vary):
Click OK to install the latest version, or Cancel to keep your current version.
At the top of the update panel, there are three useful links:
- App for iPhone and Android: Information about the mobile companion app and links to the App Store and Google Play.
- New & Noteworthy: Detailed info about the latest and previous releases.
- Change Log: GitHub page listing all releases.
- 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:
Tip
If the update process fails (e.g. due to missing permissions or network issues), you can always download and install the latest version manually from the official website.
Automatic Check for Updates
Automatic update checks are enabled by default. To change this, go to Help > Settings > Updates and toggle Check for updates on start:
Note
The automatic check is performed only when the application starts. There is no background download or silent installation.
Technical Info
The update check fetches data from https://updates.portfolio-performance.info/portfolio. If the update check fails, check your internet connection or firewall/proxy settings. Manual updates are always possible via the download page.
