Kern 0.1.10

What's new

Updates inside Kern

• One click to update. When a new version is out, click Update available in the sidebar (or Update to … in Settings → About). Kern downloads it, installs it and reopens itself. No more downloading installers by hand.
• Safe by design. Updates are signed, and Kern only installs ones that carry Kern's signature.
• Nothing is lost if it fails. If the download fails, Kern tries up to three times. If it still can't finish, it goes back to the version you were using.
• See what changed. After updating, a What's new window shows the release notes for the new version. You can open it again any time from Settings → About.

Security updates

• Releases that fix a security issue install automatically. Kern updates itself as soon as it notices one, even if you skipped some updates in between.
• If a security update can't finish (for example, while you're offline), you can keep working, and Kern tries again every 10 minutes and each time it starts.
• Kern only checks for updates when network access is on in Settings → Privacy.

Install

• Windows x64: Kern_0.1.10_x64-setup.exe (installs for the current user) or the .msi.
• Coming from 0.1.9 or earlier? Install this version by hand once. From here on, Kern updates itself.
• Linux: packages for this release aren't built yet. Until then, use the 0.1.5 packages (without Kern Cloud).
