Updates

Ray5 Pilot can check for updates from the Settings Support card.

Where updates appear

Open:

Settings > Support / Update

You may see:

  • Current version
  • Update available status
  • Update Ray5 Pilot button
  • Download Latest Source link
  • Update status message

In-app update rules

In-app updates are intentionally limited to published GitHub Release assets. Ray5 Pilot checks release metadata and requires a trusted release ZIP and SHA-256 verification.

Branch archives such as main.zip are not installed by the in-app updater.

Recommended update method

  1. Back up your Ray5 Pilot folder or at least config.json.
  2. Use the in-app update only when it shows a valid release update.
  3. Let Ray5 Pilot close and restart through the updater.
  4. Reopen Settings and verify the version.
  5. Check Dashboard status before running jobs.

Download Latest Source

The source download link is useful for manual inspection or development. It is not the same as an approved in-app release install.
