Automatic Updates
Paquet Builder includes a built-in auto-update system that checks for new versions and additional packages directly within the application. No separate update tool required.
Automatic Update Checks
Section titled “Automatic Update Checks”On startup, Paquet Builder can automatically check for available updates in the background:
Non-blocking
Uses a background thread with a short timeout, so it never slows down application startup.
Opt-in
Paquet Builder asks on the second launch whether you want to enable automatic checks.
Manual Update Check
Section titled “Manual Update Check”- Click the Paquet Builder application button
- Select “Help & Web Resources”, then “Check for Updates”
Update Dialog
Section titled “Update Dialog”When an update is found, the dialog shows release notes and three options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Install Update | Downloads and launches the installer |
| Skip This Version | Suppresses notifications for this specific version |
| Remind Me Later | Dismisses the dialog; you’ll be notified again on the next check |
Additional Packages
Section titled “Additional Packages”The update system can also offer additional packages: standalone installers for components not included in the main distribution (e.g. documentation, language packs, or supplementary tools).
