rcourtman/Pulse v4.0.10

v4.0.10 - Update System Fix

on GitHub

⚠️ Important: Manual Update Required

ALL v4 versions (v4.0.0 through v4.0.9) have a bug in the update system. Please update manually using the install script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Then select option 1 (Update to latest version).

What's Fixed

Update System (Broken in ALL v4 versions)

• Update button not appearing - Fixed channel parameter passing from UI to backend
• Downloads failing - Fixed context cancellation issue preventing updates
• Wrong binary location - Detects and updates the actual running binary
• Service restart failing - Supports both 'pulse' and 'pulse-backend' service names
• File extraction errors - Properly handles release tarball structure

Install Script

• Downloads architecture-specific releases (amd64, arm64, armv7)
• Installs to standard location (/usr/local/bin/pulse)
• Properly stops service during updates

After This Update

Once you're on v4.0.10, future updates through the UI will work correctly.

Technical Details

• Frontend passes current channel selection when checking for updates
• Backend uses background context for downloads to prevent cancellation
• Binary location detection for proper update placement
• Improved error handling and logging
