How fldigi-4.2.13 gets updated

Floodtide reads the Homebrew catalog, a community-maintained index of Mac software, to learn which version of fldigi-4.2.13 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.
  • fldigi-4.2.13 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 fldigi-4.2.13 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.
