#20778: Check and download updates in the background. --------------------------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: yawning | Owner: yawning Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser Sandbox | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | --------------------------------------------------+--------------------- Instead of the current logic which is "Check for updates once at launch, if it has been either over 6 hours since the last successful check OR the time of last check is in the future.", the update check/update download should happen every six hours in the background, and the user should be prompted to restart.
Full integration into the Tor Browser UI is likely a lot of work, so this is probably best accomplished by the agent popping up a dialog box when the update is complete (or using GNotification and a system tray icon/menu). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20778> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
