Keep Doulos SIL up to date on your Mac
Doulos SIL is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships, and updates in one click along with everything else on this Mac.
How Doulos SIL gets updated
Floodtide reads the Homebrew catalog, a community-maintained index of Mac software, to learn which version of Doulos SIL is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version it will move to and the download size. Pressing Update, or Update All, does the rest:
- The vendor’s own build is downloaded, several apps at a time, with real progress.
- The download is verified against the checksum the catalogue publishes.
- Doulos SIL is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.
- The bundle is swapped and the old version kept for seven days, so Undo Last Update always works.
- The replacement’s code signature is checked; a build signed worse than the one you had is rolled back automatically.
If Doulos SIL lives in a folder macOS protects, the swap asks for your administrator password once for the whole batch, exactly as the Finder does when you install anything by hand.
Questions about Doulos SIL

How does Floodtide install a new version of Doulos SIL?
It downloads the vendor's official build, verifies it against the checksum the catalogue publishes, quits Doulos SIL if it is running, swaps the bundle, and keeps the previous version for seven days so the update can be undone.
Will updating Doulos SIL lose my settings?
