Description

I have synergy advance set to check daily for updates though today when I opened the preferences I noticed that it had not checked for the past couple of days. I posted a screenshot here: http://homepage.mac.com/johnmm/images/sa.dailyCheck.png

I'll keep an eye on this over the next few days to confirm its persistence.

    Yes, unless I'm not remembering things right, the "automatic" version check is not all that automatic right now. It was an oversight on my part that the last release went out with the "Check now" button hooked up, but the daily/weekly/monthly pop-up has no effect.

    I believe this is now fixed in the latest released version (0.4), with some caveats.

    The automatic version checking code is now complete and in place. After releasing 0.4 I discovered a silly omission on my part that means that the automatic version check timer isn't started when you first launch the app, but only when you touch the automatic version checking preferences. I've already corrected this oversight in the current development build.

    So it's now "working" in the current release (0.4), as long as you tickle the preferences after launching.

    And it will work properly without the tickling in the next version (not yet sure whether I'll be numbering it 0.4.1 or 0.5; depends on the number of changes). I mean to release the next version fairly soon.

    Unfortunately won't be able to mark this as confirmed fixed until the version *after* 0.4.1 or 0.5, because you'll need to install 0.4.1 or 0.5 first, and only when the *next* version comes out will be know for sure that the problem has been addressed.

    In the meantime, adding the "fixed-in-prerelease" keyword.

    If you wish to confirm that this bug is fixed you can try out one of the Synergy Advance nightly builds. As noted in the nightlies page, these are automated builds which represent a snapshot of the current development status. They are not tested and may have issues of their own; the latest official release (0.4) is still the one that's recommended for daily use.

    Concretely, I believe this issues is fixed in revision 429 (link follows), or any later revision:

    Now that 0.5b is out removing "fixed-in-prerelease" keyword and marking as FIXED/CLOSED.
