Keeping Verql updated
Verql is pre-1.0 software under active development, so new releases land regularly with fixes and features. The current release is v0.9.0. Keeping up to date is the best way to get improvements and security fixes.
How updates work
Section titled “How updates work”How you update depends on how you installed Verql:
| Install method | How to update |
|---|---|
| Homebrew (macOS) | brew upgrade --cask verql |
.dmg (macOS) | Download the newer .dmg and reinstall |
.AppImage (Linux) | Download the newer .AppImage and replace the file |
.exe (Windows) | Download the newer installer and run it over the top |
Releases are published on the GitHub Releases page. Always verify your download, especially on Windows where the installer is unsigned.
Homebrew updates (macOS)
Section titled “Homebrew updates (macOS)”If you installed via Homebrew, updating is just:
brew upgrade --cask verqlVerql can also help from inside the app: when it detects that it’s running from a
Homebrew-managed install, it can check for a newer version and offer to
update for you. Accepting runs the brew upgrade --cask verql for you, and then
you restart Verql to finish applying the update.
The in-app update mechanism is channel-pluggable, so other distribution channels can be wired in over time. For now, the in-app “update for me” flow is for Homebrew-managed installs; on other platforms, update by downloading the latest release.
