Automatic updater from within Ardour

I would love an updater within Ardour. Something as simple as “Ardour.org username and password” to verify that you are a subscriber and then it runs the updater.

Is that on the bucket list of things in store for Ardour?

We have no plans to do this.

If you’re using an rss aggregator, you can use this:

(fwiw Podcast Addict (Android) can also be used to use discourse RSS urls.
more details about it can be found over here,

No need to use RSS, binaries from ardour.org do inform users when a new version is available. The open-session dialog displays a message (and a link to https://ardour.org/download).

Still, updates have to be performed manually. This is mainly because you may not want to update while in the middle of a production.

teheheh but can ardour run on Android? XD – he can be nicely notifed on his phone too with Podcast Addict :slight_smile:
