15. Program updates

Help → Check for updates…; in addition, the check runs on every start. The program asks for the package of its own system — Windows or Linux — and offers an update only when a package for it is published.

• A new version exists → the "Update available" dialog with the version number, date and a description of the changes and the buttons Open cabinet to download (open the download page of your account — already on your system's package) / Later. The program does not download the package itself.
• Otherwise — "You have the latest version", "The installer is not available yet" or "Updates could not be checked".

An update is needed, in particular, when a catalog gets the "Needs a newer TCEPro" status (§4.2).
