Check for updates

[Chichan]

Hello,
Sorry if this is a silly question but I can't figure out the answer!

I'm running VM VirtualBox Manager on a Win10 Host. According to Help>About I'm running V6.1.16 r140961 (Qt5.6.2)

I noticed that the latest version on the website is 6.1.18.

My question is, why hasn't VM VirtualBox Manager alerted me (I have the option to check for updates enabled) to this new version?

I also performed a manual check (File>Check for updates) and that informed me there were no new updates.

I did wonder if V6.1.16 was the 'last stable release' hence the reason I haven't been notified but I can't see any documentation that suggests this may be the case.

I can, of course, manually download V6.1.18 but I'm curious as to why the check for updates feature isn't alerting me.

Thanks.

Apparantly the update alert is usually delayed by a few days. I don't know the details because I've never relied on it. I download the new version from the download site when I want to.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting, according to the changelog, V6.1.18 was released on January 19 2021 so that's a long delay.
