Opening the app and getting a new sparkle update dialog everytime is getting very annoying…especially for updates that are relatively minor.

just today its gone from 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5 -> 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 -> 1.1.8 -> 1.1.9 -> 1.2 -> 1.2.2 (skipped 1.2.1?) in under 5 hours. A lot of these could wait until theyre put in a relatively bigger release!

Hi there, are you not able to just uncheck “Automaticly check for updates” in settings?

I already have, but I wish I didn't have to...I don't see a reason for updates to be this granular especially when the only release notes are the diffs and the commit messages in between tags.

I understand "shipping at the speed of inference", but it makes the people who opt into updates more like testers on a "nightly" release cycle. At that point, I'd call it a nightly.

Yeah I get it, I mean to implement a better release system moving forward, allowing users to only choose large releases if they want, and include release notes. For now i’ve been focused on meaningful quick improvemnts until the app feels more finished.
