Updating Whisper ​

Whisper checks for updates automatically when you start it. If a new version is available, you'll see a message:

Update available: 0.4.2 → 0.5.0
Run: whisper update

Installing an Update ​

Exit Whisper if you're in interactive mode (/quit), then run:

bash
whisper update

Whisper downloads the latest version, verifies it, and replaces the current one:

✓ Updated successfully! Restart whisper to use v0.5.0.

Close and reopen Whisper to start using the new version.

Checking Without Installing ​

If you just want to see whether an update is available:

bash
whisper check-updates

This tells you your current version and whether there's a newer one, without installing anything.

Disabling the Update Check ​

If you don't want Whisper to check for updates on startup:

bash
whisper --no-update-check

This skips the background check for that session only. The next time you start Whisper normally, it will check again.
