I see form the forum that a new release of APP is available (1.083.4), but when I check my copy of the software it only gives the first two decimals of the version (1.083) so I can't tell if I need to update or not.

Can you please add the full version number to the APP license info display at some point?

Thanks

It already is, it's likely that you didn't update yet?

Yes, so basically you're asking for a "an update is available" notification. 🙂 For now that's always announced on top of the forum and here; https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/appreleases/downloads/

But my point is how do I know my copy of APP needs updating? Clicking on the License button in APP only gives the first two decimals of the version I am running (in my case 1.083) so I can't tell if that is 1.083.1, 1.083.2, 1.083.3 etc

So how can I tell if the version advertised on this website is newer than the one I have?

Maybe I didn't explain this clearly in my OP, but I thought I did.

The license information gives the exact version you currently have. So that is 1.083. If you download 1.083.4 and install that, it will show that as well. It doesn't show if there are further updates, that's a bit tricky to do because of how we setup the server where the downloads are. So you'd have to check the forum to see if newer versions are available and you can see that using the license info panel where the current version is shown.

Oh I see!! (sorry, I assumed that the software was truncating the last part of the version number... !)

Thank you
