Updating
CTFL can check for new releases automatically and, depending on how you installed it, update itself.
Automatic update checks
By default, CTFL checks GitHub for new releases every 24 hours. You can change this in Settings → Check for updates (set to 0 to disable).
When an update is found, the tray menu item changes from "Check for Updates" to "Update to vX.Y.Z".
Update behavior by install method
| Install method | What happens |
|---|---|
| pip | Downloads the new .whl and runs pip install --upgrade, then asks whether to restart now. |
| AppImage | Downloads the new AppImage and replaces the current one in place, then asks whether to restart now. |
| AUR (Arch Linux) | Update through your AUR helper: yay -Syu ctfl. Within a minute the tray notifies you and the menu entry becomes Restart to use vX.Y.Z. |
| System package (deb/rpm) | Opens the GitHub release page in your browser so you can download the new package. Once it is installed, the tray offers a restart the same way as for AUR. |
Manual check
You can check for updates at any time from the tray menu: Right-click → Check for Updates.
If you're already on the latest version, a notification will confirm it.
