Orb 1.5 — updates that just work

Checking for updates is reliable now — it works on the first click and always tells you what happened.

Checking for updates is reliable now — it works on the first click and always tells you what happened.

What's new

  • Check for Updates now works on the first click. No more clicking twice — a manual check runs a direct probe and reports its result immediately.
  • Clear feedback every time. A pending update slides in as the dock banner; if you're current you get a quick "You're up to date"; during an install you see "Installing…". All of it shows right in the dock, so it's visible even when you check from the menu bar.
  • Check for Updates in Settings. The Updates section now has its own button — check any time without opening the menu — alongside the automatic-update toggle.

Fixes

  • Fixed the "first check finds nothing, second check finds it" bug.
  • The update banner now actually appears when a new version is available.
  • Hardened the updater's internal state so a check can't leave the UI stuck or silently do nothing.
