New version?

#1

Got a notification that a new version was available when running ST3 in windows. clicked the update button and the new update was downloaded and activated. This was version 3207.
went to another machine running linux and it too was notified of an update. clicked the button to accept the update and it launched a web browser on the update page where the most recent version is 3206.
Why the difference in versions?

You are probably using the dev channel on Linux, 3207 is from the stable channel :wink:

And in general the dev version just before the stable release are virtually the same.

How do you have Sublime Text installed? There are a number of ways to do the install on Linux (particularly on different dists), and I’d say this is why on Linux you’re taken to the update web page - how the update should be done depends on how ST was installed in the first place.

E.g., I’m using the ST PPA on Ubuntu. When the update notification comes up, I back out of ST, and perform a system update (‘sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade’.
