      Does a text editor really, really need to download updates that often?

      It’s really great, that development is so active, but probably updates should be a bit more consolidated into quarterly releases

      I mean, each week I open my notepad I’m greeted with “Update available” message. It’s quite annoying

      Please at least think about your update policy

        Dubious.

        There has been 1 release as of this writing for 2023 (~6 weeks in).
        There were 12 releases in 2022.
        There were 18 releases in 2021.
        There were roughly 9 releases in each of 2018-2020.

        None of these equate to “once a week”.
        “Once a month” would be more accurate – you were only off by a factor of 4.


        I’m greeted with “Update available” message

        So, turn it off.

        Well, that would be an approach. Everyone has a different feeling about an approach to a release schedule.

        I suppose if users like new features and bug fixes, then…yes?
