A repair release for the part of the app that installs releases. Every fix below is something that could happen on an ordinary network, and most of them looked like nothing was wrong.
- Fixed: Check for Updates could tell you that you were up to date when the check had in fact failed. A rate limit, an unreachable release list and no internet at all all produced the same green tick, so a computer could sit on an old version for months believing it was current. It now says which happened, and why.
- Fixed: the check could sit on "Checking for updates..." indefinitely when the network answered and then went quiet. It now gives up after twenty seconds and tells you.
- Fixed: choosing Update Now from the Help menu downloaded the update with nothing on screen to show for it, and then closed the app. The progress bar, and anything that goes wrong, now appear in the bar across the top.
- Fixed: an update that arrived incomplete, or an installer that would not start, could close the app without installing anything. Downloads are now checked against the release's own checksum before they are run, and the app only closes once the installer has actually started.
- The update bar now says what is in a release before you commit to restarting for it.
Nothing on your screens changes in this release, and the TVs do not need updating.
If your copy will not update itself, this is the release to install by hand once. Everything after it updates normally.
