Updates

#macOS

TableGrip updates itself with Sparkle, the standard updater for Mac apps.

• It checks for a new version once a day.
• With Download and install updates automatically on (the default), the update downloads in the background and is installed the next time you quit. Nothing interrupts your work.
• With it off, TableGrip asks first and shows the release notes.

#Windows

TableGrip uses WinSparkle and the .msi installer.

• It checks for a new version automatically, in the background.
• Windows always shows the update dialog before installing, so on Windows the automatic setting only makes the check automatic.

#Linux

There is no built-in updater on Linux. Download the newer .deb from the releases page and install it over the old one:

sudo apt install ./TableGrip_*.deb

Your settings and connections are kept.

#Check now

Two ways, on macOS and Windows:

• Settings → Updates → Check for Updates.
• Go to anything (⌘ P) → Check for Updates…

When an update is ready, the same page shows Download and Install… or Restart to Update, plus What's new and a link to the Releases page.

#Channels

Switch in Settings → Updates → Channel. Every release's notes are in the changelog.

#Turning updates off

In Settings → Updates, turn off Check for updates automatically. You can still check by hand at any time.

#Is it safe?

• Every update is verified with an Ed25519 signature before it is installed. A tampered download is rejected.
• On macOS, the app is also signed and notarized by Apple.
• A check only asks GitHub for the list of releases. Nothing about you or your databases is sent.

#Which version am I running?

• macOS: the TableGrip menu → About TableGrip shows the version and build.
• All systems: Settings → Updates shows TableGrip <version>.
