Updates

Loupe checks once on launch and offers a new version in the status bar, and on the cluster picker — so a release that fixes a connection problem can be found without connecting.

To check on demand:

• Loupe › Check for Updates… in the macOS menu
• Check for updates in the command palette
• the Check for updates link on the cluster picker, on every platform

A check you ask for always answers: a new version, "Loupe is up to date", or why it could not tell.

Verification

Downloads are verified against a signing key compiled into the binary, so a compromised release host cannot ship an artifact the private key did not sign.

Package managers

• Homebrew. The cask is marked auto_updates true, so brew upgrade leaves Loupe to update itself. Pass --greedy if you would rather Homebrew drive it.
• .deb. Deliberately does not self-update — the package manager owns those files.
• Before 0.1.5 there was no updater. Reaching 0.1.5 or later from an older build needs brew upgrade or a fresh download.
