I had v1.5.16 and it told me, v1.5.17 is available.

In reality, v1.5.18 is available (and was installed afterwards).

Not that this bothers me in any way, I just wanted to document it here in case this is something others recognize, too.

It was not "wrong":

At startup, Clink cannot do a network call to check for a new version -- that would introduce a noticeable delay.

Instead, Clink checks if it has an update already downloaded (in the background by a previous Clink session), and reports the version of whatever is already downloaded and ready to go.

But when applying an update, it makes a network call to make sure it gets the latest, in case there's a newer version than what is already downloaded.

So, what you experienced is possible and is intentional.
