To get to this settings window press the button Config
in the main window of JonDo, then choose the
entry Update
from the list to the left. This panel
is only available in the Extended
View.
In this dialog you can check whether new versions of JonDo are available for patching.
Version
Here you can see the version number of JonDo.
Date
This field shows the release timestamp of the currently installed version.
Type
There are two possible versions: the stable version has been
thoroughly tested. The beta version, also called developer
version, includes all functions that are available at the moment, also
those that are still undergoing testing. This is why the beta
version is meant for experienced and curious users.
The information here does not refer to the software currently installed on
your system, but rather it refers to the JonDo version that can currently be
downloaded. Using the dropdown menu Type
, you can choose whether
it applies to the stable version or the beta version.
Anonymous update connection
Only if direct connection is not possible makes JonDo connect to the update server through the currently active JonDonym service if the respective update server is not available through a direct connection. This could for example be the case if your ISP blocks access to the update server.
Always (deny non-anonymous connection) will result in update servers being contacted only through JonDonym services. By setting this, you may under circumstances no longer be able to receive updates. But on the other side you are protected against direct manipulation of the software by the creator for your installation cannot be identified.
Never (allow direct connection only) can make sense if you want
to cut cost. For update data transmitted through premium JonDonym
services will for compelling technical reasons be accounted for just like
any other user data. This setting blocks any updates through the
anonymous connection.
Show information window if a new JAP/JonDo version is
available
If this option is active, an information window will be shown from which
you can update directly whenever a new version of JonDo is available. If it
is deactivated, the status bar of the main window will display only a small
reminder. JonDo checks for new versions at startup and every 12 hours from
then.
Show information window when a new version of Java (JRE) is
available
JonDo checks for new JAVA versions at startup and every 12 hours
thereafter. If this option is active, an information window will be shown.
Upgrading the JRE has to be done manually. More...
This field displays information about the update's installation progress. Furthermore, it shows the results of checks for a new version.
