Description
Hi!
I've enabled "Update to dev version" and when I go to check for an update, I get the following message:
"You're up to date! Typora 1.5.3 is currently the newest version available. (You are currently running version 1.4.8)"
Then nothing happens. The app sees a newer version but says it's up to date. Is there a way to force the update through?
Thank you!
