[FEAT]: Software Updater #1033

Open sammcj opened 6 months ago

What would you like to see?

Currently there doesn't seem to be any way to update Anything LLM from within the app.

The only way you even know there might be running an old version is the version turns orange in the top right corner:

This doesn't offer to update the app, show the latest available version or a changelog.

This takes you to the website, where you have to manually select, download, quit the app, install the updated version and reopen the app which is quite a pain.

It would be good if Anything LLM could update itself when newer versions are available - OR - be available on homebrew so it gets updated with your other apps.

We 100% agree, the issue is the electron updater will not function unless all distributed versions are signed. MacOS is, but windows and linux are not yet. Linux is simple enough, but does not support updating. Windows costs like $2k for a cert and is a huge pain, which is why that isn't live yet.

It is clunky, but at least it lets you know a new version is available?

Suggestions for two things that might help folks in the mean time:

  1. Add the latest current version on the download page.

  1. Add releases on Github, or a current version (with link to download) at the top of the readme.
