Also you can go with the Snap package, which will be auto upgrade whenever the new version is out. When that come out the new version will report on startup if you would like to import the previous workspace which is usually safe. If I'll have some time, I'd experiment with Snaps auto directory update feature, that would theorethicly allow seamless version upgrades, what would mean you open the IDE 12.2 one day and the other day it would open with the same settings but 12.3... (Probably that would happen first as 13.0 though)

Yes, you need to reinstall whenever a new release is released.

    Hi,

    I installed netbeans 12.1 in linux (don't remember if I used  the
    zip file or the shell installer).
    Anyway I see 12.2 is available but running "Check for updates" in
    my Netbeans says that there are no updates available.
    Is that supposed to work or do we need to re-install it every time
    a new release comes in?

    Thanks,
    Marco
