Keeping Lattis Updated

Lattis keeps itself up to date, so you don’t have to watch for releases or re-download the app.

When a new version is available, Lattis:

  1. Notifies you that an update is ready.
  2. Downloads it in the background, showing progress as it goes.
  3. Waits for your confirmation, then applies the update and relaunches.

You stay in control — nothing is installed until you say so — and the whole thing happens in place, without a trip to the download page. The background service stops briefly while the new version is swapped in, then comes right back.

You can see the running version in the app, or by asking the daemon directly:

Terminal window
curl http://127.0.0.1:5288/health
# {"status":"ok","version":"…","build":"…","pid":…}

The build field includes the git hash and build time, which is handy for confirming exactly which version is serving.

Automatic updates apply to the installed desktop app. A build you compiled yourself won’t self-update — pull and rebuild as usual. If the updater reports that updates are unavailable, that’s expected for a source or development build.
