Insomnium making requests to updates.insomnia.rest

[tofran]

Expected Behavior

Insomnium should not be tapping back home. Should work offline and only make requests to where the user point it to, and when the user instructs it to.

Actual Behavior

With a firewall installed, in this case LuLu, I can see that insomnium is making requests to the following url:

https://updates.insomnia.rest/builds/check/mac?v=0.2.1-b&app=com.insomnium.app&channel=stable

I have never accepted any privacy policy, terms of use or checkbox saying automatic updates. Furthermore nor the License that is a plain MIT License or the readme mention that this application does tracking.

Reproduction Steps

• Install the firewall of your choice, in this case LuLu
• Clean install Insomnium 0.2.1-b on mac 14.0 (23A344)
• Copy .DB files from Insomnia to Insomnium
• Open Insomnium
• Insomnium will make this request

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the issue tracker for this problem.

thanks for the report! hmm interesting; that shouldn't be happening since I've already disabled the version-auto-update check on start-up; probably a fn from somewhere else making that call; I'll get this fixed in the next release

aw I see; because the setting.updateAutomatically is stored in the DB (so the old config basically got copied over from Insomnia and triggered an update). So basically I need to completely remove the fn instead of using updateAutomatically: false

@archywillhe thank you very much for the quick fix and all the effort in maintaining this project!
