The process for updating the Fortify app now looks like this:

  1. Automatically check the new version.
  2. Show dialog about the new version.
  3. Go to Fortify website and download the new version.
  4. Install the new version.
  5. Completed.

What problems we have

  1. User can't check updates manually.

Solution:

Add Check for updates button to the tray menu.

These are good changes, the only concern I have is that we should probably require people be signed up to receive email notices about updates if they disable updates.

We would also need to make sure this setting is controllable at install time.
