@dickensons Franz 5 is not rolled out via the updater for various reasons. You need to download the app from meetfranz.com

@smalzner What is the reason you didn't roll it out from updater? Also when I download franz from your website, download file says franz-5.0.0-beta.14.dmg. So is Franz 5 in beta or production now?

@smalzner @mohitify Probably a slow rollout to find these issues?

@mohitify Franz 1-4 actually never left beta. This is one of the primary goals for Q1 2018 to finally just release Franz 5.0 :) About not rolling it out via the updater: - I've introduced quite some radical changes from 4 to 5 and not every user feels comfortable with them. The way how Franz is built is to force a user to update, in this case it's about the freedom of choice. - Even though the first Franz release is just a bit older than a year, the electron ecosystem has improved so much that I wanted to leverage all those improvements. This wouldn't be technically possible with the auto updater as I had to stick with certain technologies.

@mohitify @jvdmeij true as well. The update is just advertised to 1% of the daily Franz 4 user base to avoid major meltdowns.
