Blink NS does not update to lastest version when restarted

[tmorse305]

I'm running 0.3.17.  The message says 0.3.22 is available but when I restart the NS it does not update.  I could uninstall/reinstall but I thought I'd check first in case I'm just missing something.  Thanks.

@tmorse305 I don't think node servers auto update on restart anymore. There might be a different upgrade process. Look at the purchases area and it might have an "update" option.

I wouldn't uninstall, but perhaps just reinstalling in the same slot would force the new version to install.

Yes as @Geddystates do not uninstall. When I upgraded the notification node server I went to the NS store clicked on the install button the next screen should give you the option to reinstall and make sure it is in the same slot.

@Geddy, @tlightne, thanks.  I missed the reinstall button on the screen after the install button.  Anyway I uninstalled reinstalled and its all good now.  I recall a thread about upgrading NSs but I couldn't find it.  The weird part is that just last week I upgraded 2 other NS by just restarting them.  So maybe it's NS specific.

@tmorse305 the reason node servers don't auto upgrade anymore is so that your installation won't break if it gets restarted for some odd reason... {picture yourself on the beach in Mexico with a nice cold beverage in hand and the power goes off at home, when eisy restarts if it upgraded to a node server that doesn't work correctly it will just not work right until you get home.  The logic is if the current version is working for you then don't potentially break it with a software update.}

you definitely do not want to shorten your vacation.
