How and when do I update Wavebox?

Keeping up-to-date with Wavebox releases is essential and there are 3 reasons why we do releases, these are:

1. A new version of Chromium (about every 2 weeks).
2. Urgent fixes or security patches (infrequent, but important!).
3. New features (roughly every 4 weeks to coincide with a new version of Chromium).

We've added a What's New icon at the top bar within Wavebox. This display a red dot when there's something new to see. Click on the icon to pop-out the What's New window.

More about updates:

• When we push out a new release you'll get an in-app pop-up notification inviting you to update - please do so as soon as you can.
• Wavebox doesn't have many bugs, and we're normally super-fast at squishing them.  However if you do get an issue, the first thing to do is check if there is an update that contains a fix for it.  Go to Settings > General > Updates > Check for Update Now and download the update, if available.
• You'll find release notes on our Blog: https://blog.wavebox.io/releases/
• With any major release (every 4 weeks) there is normally a blog with details about new features, seen an example here: https://blog.wavebox.io/multiple-wavebox-profiles/
• In the app, you'll also see a red dot appear on the present icon in the sidebar when there's something new to see.  Click on it to bring up the What's New pop-up window.
• You can learn more about our release schedule in this blog post: https://blog.wavebox.io/check-chromium-release-version/
• You can check that we're always up-to-date with the latest version of Chromium by pasting this URL in any Wavebox window: https://chromiumchecker.com/ (Why not try this with other browsers!).
