# What's new in LumiCode

LumiCode changes often, and it keeps its own release notes, so the quickest way to see what's new is to ask LumiCode itself. It tells you when a newer version has something for you, shows you exactly what that is, and updates in one command.

## Finding out what's new

Once a day, in an interactive session, LumiCode checks whether a newer version is available. When the newer version has release notes yours doesn't, the banner says how many, for example **3 new**.

Type `/whats-new` to read them. LumiCode lists the changes the newer version would bring, newest first, then offers to update. If no check has run yet in this session, `/whats-new` checks straight away; otherwise it shows what the last check found, and when.

To stop the daily check, run `/set update-check off`. `/whats-new` and `/update` still work whenever you use them.

## Seeing every change

`/whats-new all` prints every release note, newest first, without offering to update. It's a good way to catch up straight after you install LumiCode.

Each note is dated rather than numbered, because the dates are what tell you which changes you have.

## Updating

Type `/update`. LumiCode downloads the newest version and installs it. Restart `lumi` afterwards to use it.

On Windows, LumiCode can't replace itself while it's running. Instead, `/update` downloads the new version and shows you the command to run after you exit.
