Self-updater¶

nParse+ checks the project's GitHub releases at startup (disable in Settings → General). Drafts and prereleases are ignored; versions are compared properly (1.10 > 1.9).

You can also check on demand: Check for updates in the tray menu, or Check now in Settings → General. Either reports back even when you're already on the latest version.

When an update exists:

the tray menu gains an Install update vX.Y.Z entry, and
clicking it shows a dialog with the release notes for every version between yours and the newest, then downloads the right asset for your platform:

The update dialog listing release notes for every crossed version

Platform	Asset picked
macOS	the `.dmg` matching your Mac's architecture (`arm64` / `x86_64`)
Windows	`.zip`
Linux (tarball install)	`.tar.gz`
Linux (running inside the Flatpak sandbox)	`.flatpak`, handed to your software installer

If the expected asset isn't on the release, the release page opens in your browser instead.

Settings always survive updates — see Updating for the per-platform install steps, and note that Flatpak installs are better served by plain flatpak update.
