Yes this what I want to know. How to know there is an update, without downloading the update ? On Fri, Sep 20, 2019 at 10:26 PM Richard O'Keefe <raoknz@gmail.com> wrote:

I understood Serge Stinkwich's question to be "at any given time, how do we know whether the VM we have is the latest one for our platform?" Certainly that was what I wanted to know. When I use the Launcher, I don't see any way to ask "is this VM I've selected up- to-date". If I click on Update, the Launcher starts an HTTP request or not, and after enough time to make me think it is downloading quite a lot, just stops. If I repeat the action, the whole process repeats. This makes me think that the Launcher is not looking to see whether there is a new version, just downloading whatever is latest at the other end.

It would be nice to have an "is this image/VM up todate?" button somewhere, that just gets a few bytes of version number + checksum.

Hello, a new stable VM has been deployed. This VM uses a new version of libSSH allowing us to work in the latest Windows version.

It can be directly updated using Pharo Launcher or downloaded using ZeroConf scripts.

To update from Pharo Launcher you have to access to the VM Manager window. Just click on the marked button and then in "Update" [image: updateVM.png]

This great Pablo, I didn't know that there is a VM manager. I want to save my bandwidth. How do we know, we have the last VM ?
