PDF Editor v0.12.0

You no longer have to wander over to this page to find out there's a new version. The app checks for you, tells you when one's out, and can install it itself.

One thing worth knowing up front: this only starts working once you're on this version. If you're on 0.11.0 or older, install this one by hand and updates look after themselves from then on.

🔄 Updates

• The app tells you when there's a new version. A strip appears across the top of the window naming the version that's out and the one you're on. It checks once a day, a few seconds after launch, so it never holds up opening the app. If you're offline it says nothing at all.
• Update now does the whole job. It downloads the installer, asks about any unsaved work exactly as closing the app normally would, installs over your existing copy with no admin prompt, and opens itself back up on the new version. Nothing gets installed until you've agreed to close, so backing out at the unsaved-changes prompt stops the lot safely.
• Two ways to put it off, and they're deliberately different. "Skip this version" stays quiet until the version after the one you skipped comes out, so you're not pestered about a release you've decided against but you don't drop off the map either. "Remind me in 7 days" stays quiet for the week whatever ships in between. Closing the strip with the cross records nothing, so the offer is simply back next time you open the app.
• Help → About PDF Editor has a Check for updates button and a line telling you where you stand. That one always gives you the straight answer, even about a version you've skipped.
• The portable build is never updated in place. A program can't replace itself while it's running, and leaving your machine untouched is the whole point of the portable copy. It still tells you when there's something new and offers to open the download page so you can swap the folder yourself.

🔒 What it sends

• One request a day, to the same public releases page you're reading now. No account, no identifier, nothing about you or the documents you have open. If you'd rather it didn't, set the environment variable PDF_EDITOR_NO_UPDATE_CHECK to 1 and the automatic check stops. The button in About carries on working.
