One Reliable Source For The Latest Desktop App Version
Checking which desktop app version is current, and whether a machine is outdated, now reads from the same source, so the two can never disagree.
Summary
There used to be two separate answers to "what's the latest desktop app version" behind the scenes, which could drift apart and cause machines to be mislabeled as out of date — or not flagged when they actually were. There's now a single, authoritative source, so that can no longer happen.
What You Gain
Previously, the version used to decide whether your desktop app or CLI was out of date could fall out of sync with the actual latest release available for download, even after releases were fixed to always include the latest fixes. That mismatch meant a machine running the true latest version could potentially still be incorrectly flagged as outdated, or vice versa.
Now there's one place that version comes from, used consistently everywhere it's checked, so what you see about "the latest version" always matches what's actually available to download and install.
How It Works
- One source of truth for the latest version, used consistently for update checks and for flagging outdated machines.
- Reported separately per platform (Windows, macOS, Linux); if they ever briefly differ during a rollout, the version used for comparisons is the one every platform has already reached.
- If the version can't be determined for some reason, no machine is incorrectly flagged as outdated in the meantime.
Where to Find It
This applies automatically — there's nothing to configure. Check for updates from inside the desktop app as usual.
