Updating

Vitrino checks for a newer version when it starts, and tells you when there is one. It does not update itself.

What happens at launch

On start, Vitrino asks downloads.vitrino.dev whether there is a newer release on its own channel. If there is, a message box appears with three choices:

• Download — opens the right installer for your machine in your browser.
• Later — say nothing more this time.
• Don't remind me about this version — a checkbox; tick it and this version is skipped for good. A newer one will still be offered.

Then you install it as you did the first time, replacing the version you have. Vitrino does not download, unpack or replace itself.

A failed check — no network, a bad response — is written to the log and not shown. An update check is not worth interrupting a launch over.

Checking on purpose

Check for Updates… reports every outcome, including "You're up to date" and any failure. You will find it:

• on macOS, in the Vitrino menu, under About;
• on Windows and Linux, in the Help menu.

Asking this way also re‑offers a version you previously skipped, with the skip checkbox already ticked. Unticking it and choosing Later forgets the skip.

Channels

Releases come on two channels, and a build only hears about its own:

A preview build is never interrupted by a stable release, and a stable build is never offered a preview. To move between channels, download the one you want from the site.

Builds you run from source do not check at all.
