Closed this issue · 0 comments

The current auto-update behavior is fairly basic and needs to be enhanced to improve the number of users that upgrade to the latest release.

Current Behavior

  • At launch and periodically the application checks for updates
  • The tray application changes the icon when an update is available
  • Menu bar has "Download Update" entry which launches web browser to download the app

Desired Behavior

  • At launch and periodically the application checks for updates
  • The application presents a dialog alerting the user to a new version along with release notes
  • The user can select skip this version or update
  • Update downloads the version with a progress bar in the window and launches the installer
