So, I have a previous version installed.  Is the app setup with a pop up indicating a new version is available?  Just curious if this is something I need to check for updates on my own or if there is some sort of notification process outside of tracking releases.  Thanks!

I'm not sure what the status is on the updater, but downloading from your account or via Stardock Central would be the easiest way.
