Check for updates... not working

Post by andyp73 »

Both my macOS and Windows installations of VirtualBox 5.2.12 report that I am running the latest version when clicking on "Check for updates..." despite 5.2.14 having been released yesterday.

Did someone forget to update something somewhere?

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

I believe that they turn the "Update available" flag on the update server, a couple of days after the release, just to make sure that nothing really wrong has crept in.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
