Home Installing SQLEditor

# Automatic updating

When you first start SQLEditor you will be offered the option to use the automatic update feature. This uses the Sparkle update framework.

Automatic update can also be enabled or disabled from the Preferences Window.

If you enable automatic updates then SQLEditor will check our website to see if a new version is available.

If an update is available then a window will appear on your screen offering the option to upgrade to the new version. The updated version will be downloaded and installed.

If you don't wish to upgrade to the new version at all then you should select the Skip This Version button. You will not be prompted to upgrade to the specified version again unless you choose SQLEditor→Check for Upgrades....

If you want to upgrade at a later time then you can click the Remind Me Later button and the update notice will appear on the next restart of SQLEditor.

There is also an option to send some profile information about your system when you check for updates. This is used for market research to identify which versions are in use and what types of environment SQLEditor is running in. You can disable this option in the preferences window.

Other than the system profile information (if enabled) we don't deliberately collect personal data about you or your mac, however just sending a request will identify you by IP address and other data may, in theory, be sufficient to identify you if you have a unique configuration.

If you don't want this to happen then please don't use automatic updates.
