Parrot used to tell you a new version existed and then make you go and fetch it. From this release on, it just updates itself.

Self-updating. Parrot checks daily, downloads new versions in the background, and swaps itself out when you quit. Never during a recording, because the install only ever happens after the app closes. There's a Keep Parrot up to date toggle in Settings → General if you'd rather it asked, and Check Now is still there for the impatient.

This is the handover release. If you're on 0.13.0 or earlier, download this one the old way. It's the last time. Everything after it arrives on its own.

Updates are signed, and Parrot checks. Every update must carry a signature made with a key that exists only on my machine. If someone took over the update feed tomorrow, your copy of Parrot would refuse the download rather than install it. Nothing to set up on your end.

What's Changed

  • Self-updating: replace the download banner with Sparkle in #37
