Seems like the best way then would be if they maintain their own channel, as is the case with CHIRP, VirtualBox, and countless other applications. Then I could add that source and the package manager would use the more up to date packages seamlessly. The packages are already being built for a

One of the challenges of automatic updating is package managers and such on the Linux side are often generations behind (not a big deal, but if a user installs Ubuntu, types "apt install wsjtx" and they still have 1.x in their repo it's going to confuse them) and trying to deal with those can be

If the program on startup finds a valid Internet connection, then check for an update automatically. If one is available, download it, or at least supply a link to the file, and THEN allow the user to install (or delete) it as they feel. Make it keep bugging the user on startup of WSJTx until

Backwards compatibility is a thing ... Also, if the new version of the software knows how to decode an older encoding, you already have an implied version number. It's not like this takes eons to decode, nothing wrong with trying several times, newest version first, next version next and so on.

A better idea is to include a protocol version number in the QSO information, that way both sides have a chance to alert the operator. I should also point out that in ICT data exchange it's common practice to include a version in the meta-data to prevent exactly this issue. -- finger painting on
