how to update to new version?

I'm in ver 18030400, how can I update to new version without delete the old one because I don't want to install packages and configure them again.

sorry, just hit enter key by mistake

Just update launcher.
please download icons.zip from my WSL-DistroLauncher release, extract Arch.exe and replace installed one with it.

Arch Linux adopts rolling release model.
Normally,rootfs update is not necessary.

@yuk7 So you mean after installed ArchWSL, I can even remove rootfs.tar.gz, and it is no need anymore. What need to do is just copy the new Arch.exe and override old one, when you release a new version?

@roachsinai
Yes,that's true.
rootfs.tar.gz is only used during installation.
However, if you update Arch.exe, you can receive bug fixes, etc. for the launcher.
I regularly pack and distribute fresh packages.

Got it. Thanks, and think it will be better to tell how to update it, as make me very confused at the beginning.
