Updates
Loach’s built-in updater patches certain install formats in place. When it doesn’t, the cause is usually format-related or release timing.
No “Install update” button on Linux
You’re on Linux and the Updates panel only shows a link to GitHub releases.
This is expected for .deb and .rpm installs — the Tauri updater can only patch AppImage installs on Linux. Your package manager owns updates instead. To get in-app updates, install the AppImage build from the releases page.
“Up to date” but I see a newer version on GitHub
The updater says there’s nothing new even though a newer release exists.
The updater only reads published releases, not drafts. Wait until the release is published, or download manually from GitHub.
Update download or signature fails
The update starts but errors out before installing.
- Re-run the check — transient network failures are common.
- If the error mentions signature verification, the release is most likely mid-publish (assets uploaded but not yet signed). Wait a few minutes and retry.
- As a fallback, download the installer for your platform directly from the releases page.
