Upgrading itch
On macOS and Windows, the app automatically updates itself, notifying you when it's ready to be restarted, with a list of changes:
On Linux, you currently have to download and install a newer package yourself, except if you're using our .deb or .rpm repository, although we are working on an alternative
You can check the currently running version of the app by hovering the itch
logo in the top-left corner, or by opening the user menu (bottom-left). Older
versions of the app only show it in the Help menu, which you can make appear
by pressing the Alt key, on platforms where it's hidden by default.
