The Windows downloads keep the index, settings and thumbnail cache in %APPDATA%\good-gallery, the Linux one in ~/.local/share/good-gallery, so an update picks them up as they are.

The downloads aren't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn about them. For the installer choose More info → Run anyway. For the zip, right-click it → Properties → Unblock before extracting.
