My Mac version of Joplin is 1.0.178. I think it has been a few weeks since I upgraded to this version. Lately, when I open Joplin it has been asking me to update to version 1.0.179. When I try to upgrade nothing happens. From what I can tell there really isn’t a 1.0.179 release yet.
I assume that there will be a 1.0.179 release soon at which time when I click on update my software will be updated. But right now nothing happens.
It seems that it can take a while for the web-site links to get updated to the latest version and it does not help that the updater in 1.0.178 was broken.
You can always get the latest Joplin release from here:
The above is a link to the “Releases” page on GitHub
In my case, on Mac (currently 1.0.78 on MacBook Air running Catalina), every time I open Joplin, or after 24 hours pass, the next morning, or whatever, the dialog comes, asking me if I want to download 1.0.79. I click on Yes, but no download takes place.
because sometimes it can take a while for the links on the main page to get updated whereas when a new version of Joplin is built and released it appears on the Releases page of GitHub straight away.
Thanks! I did read that, but my aim in reporting was not to get my hands on 1.0.79, but to report the anomaly in it not downloading, in more specific terms than “nothing happens”. Of course, I do appreciate the rapid answer for a workaround!
