Version Management

HiFi Control includes an automatic update notification system that checks for new releases and notifies the user when updates are available.

  1. The application checks for available updates online
  2. Available releases are filtered based on the user’s notification preferences
  3. The current version is compared against available releases
  4. If a newer version is found, the user is notified with a download link
Channel Description Notification Default
Stable Production-ready releases Always enabled
Beta Pre-release versions for testing User configurable
Alpha Early development versions User configurable

In Settings → Updates, users can configure:

  • Notify about Alpha releases: Enable/disable notifications for alpha builds
  • Notify about Beta releases: Enable/disable notifications for beta builds
  • Check for updates: Manually trigger an update check
  • Current version: Displays the installed version
  • Available version: Shows the newest available version (if any)

When an update is available, the application provides a download link. The user downloads and runs the installer manually.

The current application version is shown in Settings → About and Settings → Updates. The version string indicates the release channel (stable, beta, or alpha).
