DimSum 0.5.341

Released October 2, 2026.

DimSum checks for updates on its own, downloads them in the background and installs them when it suits you, never in the middle of a job.

The same news is on the website's What's new page.

What's new

DimSum updates itself. It checks for updates when it starts and every 4 hours, and downloads them in the background. Offline, it waits until you're back online.
Restart to update. When an update is ready, Restart to update appears in the top bar. DimSum saves and closes your job, installs the update and opens the same job again. Or it installs the next time you close DimSum.
Never mid-job. While you're drawing or a dialog is open, the update waits until you're done.
System Settings → About / Updates shows your version, when DimSum last checked, a Check now button and What's new.
Pick an update channel: Stable (the default), or Beta to get new versions first.

DimSum now installs just for you, so Windows doesn't ask for an administrator's Yes, now or for any update.
The installer isn't code-signed yet. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, choose More info, then Run anyway.
If you had an older copy installed for all users, it stays until you remove it in Windows Settings → Apps. Your settings, libraries and recent jobs are shared, so nothing has to move.
Your jobs don't change.
