Upgrades

Rune checks for new releases in the background and prompts you when one is available. You can also trigger a check at any time, or turn the background check off.

How it works

Rune checks for a new version shortly after startup and once every 24 hours after that. When a new version is available, a floating prompt offers three choices:

• Upgrade Now (y): download and install the new version, then ask you to restart Rune.
• Remind Me Later (l): dismiss the prompt and stay quiet until the next scheduled check.
• Skip This Version (s): never remind me about this specific version again.

To check immediately, regardless of the schedule, open the command prompt and run the upgrade command. If you are already on the latest version, Rune confirms it with a notification.

Configuration

Configure upgrades under the upgrade section of your Rune config.

config.yaml

upgrade:
  auto_check_enabled: true
  check_period: 24h

config.star

config = {
    "upgrade": {
        "auto_check_enabled": True,
        "check_period": "24h",
    },
}

Key	Type	Default	Effect
auto_check_enabled	bool	true	Whether to run the periodic check.
check_period	duration	"24h"	Interval between checks.
channel	string	stable	Reserved for future use.

Disabling auto-check

Set auto_check_enabled to false to stop background checks. The upgrade command continues to work from the command prompt, so you can still upgrade on demand:

config.yaml

upgrade:
  auto_check_enabled: false

config.star

config = {
    "upgrade": {
        "auto_check_enabled": False,
    },
}
