Update Leapp

Desktop App

Leapp checks if a new version is available every 10 minutes (starting from the application launch). If so, a dialog message will pop up and show a version number, the release date and the changelog

In this modal, a user can do the following:

Remind me laterDownload updateClick on X

Leapp will close the modal and notify the user that a new update is available by adding a notification dot to the Dock Bar icon. Users will not be bothered anymore until the next release is available. This option is convenient for users that want to stick to a specific version. Note that you can do this for every version and maintain the one you prefer.

Leapp will open the Release URL in your default browser to let the User manually download the release for their specific OS and install it.

Leapp will close the modal and another one will appear in 10 minutes.

macOS (Homebrew), Linux (Linuxbrew) and Windows (via WSL)

Leapp can also be updated via Homebrew Cask with: brew upgrade leapp
