AxonUpdates
How Axon update checks and release downloads work.
Axon can check release metadata and show notes, but the current distribution language stays conservative because unsigned macOS builds cannot guarantee smooth automatic replacement.
Release Check Flow
Axon checks GitHub Releases for the latest published version.
The app can show update state and release notes.
Users choose the platform-specific artifact that matches their machine.
Unsigned macOS builds may need manual replacement until signing and notarization are available.
macOS Limitation
Do not treat current unsigned macOS builds as fully automatic update builds. Manual download and replacement remains the reliable route until Axon ships with an Apple Developer certificate, hardened runtime, and notarization.
Source Of Truth
GitHub Releases are the source of truth for changelog entries, release notes, and platform downloads.
Current Release
Version 1.3.0 adds the editor-tab Git graph, delayed commit previews, repository-structured changed files, historical comparisons, and isolated packaged Core launches for reliable folder opening. Consult the matching GitHub Release before downloading to confirm which platform artifacts completed successfully.
Completed product work that lands between release notes is tracked on the Recent Work page.
