Other • Re: New Pi Imager 2.0.4 released

I don't think this popup used github releases as a reference but rather the apt repo

That's correct, and that has bumped itself to 2.0.4 so 2.0.3 and earlier should have noted that, should have produced a new version available pop-up. None do.

I remember we changed a registry key on our windows version though (for 1.9.x releases)

True. That was setting "check_version" to "false" in "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Raspberry Pi\Imager" to disable the check.

But all Imager 2.0.x have used "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Raspberry Pi\Raspberry Pi Imager" for registry data, and I have no "check_version" in there.

With "check_version" set "true", my 1.9.6 again reports a new version available, none of my 2.0.x versions do. So it doesn't seem 2.0.x is looking in the old registry location.

Maybe "new version available" will be with 2.1.0 or 3.0.0 and it's time to look at the source code perhaps ?
