Update

Freeleapp checks GitHub Releases for a new version when it starts and every 10 minutes afterwards. What happens next depends on Automatically Download Updates in Settings → General.

The new version downloads in the background. When it is ready, an Update button appears in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar; hover it to see the version. Click it and Freeleapp stops your sessions and tunnels, installs the update and opens again. If you don’t click it, the update is installed the next time you quit Freeleapp. Your configuration is kept.

With Automatically Download Updates off, a dialog shows the version number, the release date and the changelog, with these choices:

Choice What happens
Remind Me Later Closes the dialog and keeps a Check for Updates… entry in the menu. You are not asked again until the next release, which lets you stay on a version you prefer.
Download update Opens the release page in your default browser so you can download the new DMG.
Close (×) Closes the dialog; it appears again at the next check.

To install it, replace the app in Applications with the one in the DMG, or run brew upgrade --cask --greedy freeleapp if you installed it with Homebrew.

Versions up to 1.1.0 were not signed with a Developer ID, so they cannot install the signed versions by themselves. Update once by hand, with brew upgrade --cask --greedy freeleapp or the DMG; later versions install from the Update button. On the first launch after that, macOS asks once more whether Freeleapp may use its keychain items; choose Always Allow.
