¶Updating

e has a built-in auto-updater backed by GitHub Releases.

¶How it works

• On startup, e quietly checks GitHub for a newer release.
• When one is available, a notice appears in the bottom-right corner with the release version and a What's new toggle that expands the changelog.
• Click Update now to download the build for your platform and replace the running binary in place.
• After it installs, click Restart now to relaunch into the new version.

¶Manual check

Run Check for Updates from the command palette (⌘⇧P). If you're already on the latest version, you'll see a confirmation.

¶Notes

• The updater downloads the correct asset for your platform (e-<target>.tar.gz) and swaps the binary atomically.
• If a download fails, the notice offers Retry.
• Updates are opt-in: nothing is installed until you click Update now.

¶For maintainers

Releases are produced with:

./scripts/release.sh X.Y.Z

This bumps the version, moves the Unreleased section of CHANGELOG.md under a new dated heading, commits, tags vX.Y.Z, and pushes. A GitHub Actions workflow then builds and attaches the per-platform binaries to the release, which the auto-updater consumes.
