A small alpha that tidies up the new built-in updater. It is also the first version that people on v0.50.0-alpha-5 can install straight from the App updates screen.
This is an alpha release. Back up important profiles before trying it.
A clearer App updates screen
The App updates screen now looks like the rest of Settings, split into sections you can scan at a glance.
- Status first. The top section shows where things stand, the installed version and when WebLibre last checked. A coloured icon shows whether an update is waiting or something went wrong.
- Clearer errors. When something fails, the screen first says which step failed (checking, downloading, installing, or cancelling an installation), then gives the reason on a separate line.
- What's new, one version at a time. The newest version's notes are shown in full. If you skipped some versions, each one has its own row that you can tap to read its notes.
- What changes and Settings have their own sections. Check for updates automatically is under Settings. Check now sits in the status section when WebLibre is up to date, and under Settings otherwise.
- Find it with settings search. Searching Settings for Check for updates automatically or Check now takes you straight to the App updates screen.
Everyday fixes and polish
- The update row at the top of the browser menu now looks like the other menu sections. Its coloured icon and dot still show when an update is waiting.
- The buttons in the update confirmation dialogs now look the same as in WebLibre's other confirmation dialogs.
Upgrading from v0.50.0-alpha-5
There's nothing to install by hand: open Settings > General > Updates > App updates and tap Check now, or wait for the daily check.
