Hyper notifies about older version update every time

[derrandz]

• Your Hyper.app version is 2.1.0-canary.1. Please verify your using the latest Hyper.app version
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

---

• Any relevant information from devtools? (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):

• Is the issue reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app?

Issue

Hyper still notifies me everytime I open it about the 2.0.0 version, and I am already one version ahead of that

• Hyper version: undefined "2.1.0-canary.1"

• OS ARCH VERSION: linux x64 4.13.0-43-generic

• Electron: 1.8.4 LANG: en_US.UTF-8

• SHELL: /usr/bin/zsh TERM: undefined

You've downloaded a canary version.

Please change your updateChannel: 'canary' In your config file or download stable version from our website https://www.hyper.is

[derrandz]

Shouldn't this configuration entry ship with the canary installation by default?

[chabou]

Yes, it would be great. At the start, canary releases were not intended to be installed directly. But they are... a lot.

So PR welcome.

(Duplicates #2704)

[derrandz]

It would be great if I can allocate the time to this, looking forward to a PR.

Thanks for the time.
