<p>GPG Keychain is more than great. It is outstanding.</p>
<p>However, today, I discovered that version 1.5 had failed to update automatically to 1.5.1 on or about its release date of November 15, 2019. After this discovery, I downloaded and verified GPG_Suite-2019.2.dmg, and the manual installation of version 1.5.1 was successful.</p>
<p>Going into the future, will users need to confirm at <a href="https://gpgtools.org/">https://gpgtools.org/</a> whether a new release is available, or will GPG Keychain automatically install updates per the 2 active preferences (1) GPG Keychain > Preferences > Updates > ✓ Automatically check for updates; and (2) System Preferences > GPG Suite > Settings > ✓ Automatically check for updates</p>
<p>Earlier today, on my system, version 1.5 inaccurately indicated the following:</p>
<p>GPG Keychain > Check for Updates... > You're up-to-date! GPG Suite 2019.1 is currently the newest version available.</p>
<p>For at least the past 8 months, my system constantly has held the following 2 settings:</p>
<p>(1) GPG Keychain > Preferences > Updates > ✓ Automatically check for updates</p>
<p>(2) System Preferences > GPG Suite > Settings > ✓ Automatically check for updates.</p>
<p>Data on my external backup drive shows that on August 22, 2019, GPG Keychain automatically updated on my system to version 1.5.</p>
<p>Today, I confirmed that the 2 settings I previously had selected on or about August 22, 2019, still held the same settings: (1) GPG Keychain > Preferences > Updates > ✓ Automatically check for updates; and (2) System Preferences > GPG Suite > Settings > ✓ Automatically check for updates.</p>
<p><strong>Expected</strong><br>
I expected GPG Keychain to automatically update per the 2 preferences: (1) GPG Keychain > Preferences > Updates > ✓ Automatically check for updates; and (2) System Preferences > GPG Suite > Settings > ✓ Automatically check for updates.</p>

<p>thanks for taking the time to report this problem and your nice words.</p>
<p>The automatic update has not yet been enabled. We hope to do this soon. So the behavior you are experiencing is expected.</p>
<p>We understand many users rely on automatic updates which is why we are working on enabling that with highest priority.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Thanks for the information.</p>
<p>Looking forward to GPG Keychain enabling automatic updates.</p>
<p>In the meanwhile, I have no problem with checking for updates manually.</p>
<p>GPG Keychain is aces.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
