BRANDA

Updating BRANDA

From version 0.1.32, BRANDA updates itself. When a newer version is out, an Update button appears under the B mark in the sidebar. Click it and BRANDA downloads the update, installs it and reopens. BRANDA › Check for Updates checks right away.

Updating by hand

Earlier versions update this way:

  1. Quit BRANDA.
  2. Download the newer version and open the disk image.
  3. Drag BRANDA to Applications and replace the old app.
  4. Open BRANDA.

Your data stays in ~/Library/Application Support/BRANDA/.

What happens on the next launch

Before BRANDA changes its database for the new version, it backs the database up and checks the backup. If the change fails, BRANDA restores the backup and tells you what happened.

Installing an older version over a newer one is refused, so a mistaken download never rolls your data back.

The release notes list what changed in each version.
