• The version you are using should be displayed correctly in the version display.

Todos

• Able to update to latest prerelease
• Able to detect version diff with latest prerelease

Done

• Can detect latest release/prerelease release info

Are the todos done?

IIRC we can't detect correct prerelease version with Squirrel? (semver v2 not supported by squirrel)

Yeah ok, issues of Squirrel identified in #1547

@jjw24 @VictoriousRaptor Any progress on switching to Clowd.Squirrel to be at a minimum properly version our prerelease builds?

[jjw24]

There is a PR tao has done and I outline a few issues that need to be addressed and further tested, if we can sort them out then we can start the migration.
