Keep Swift Salamander up to date on your Mac
Swift Salamander 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 Swift Salamander gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Swift Salamander's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out.
- The developer's own build is downloaded, with real progress.
- It is checked against a checksum where the source publishes one, otherwise against the developer signature of the copy already installed, and Gatekeeper has to accept it before anything is replaced.
- Swift Salamander is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.
Questions about Swift Salamander
Does Floodtide update Swift Salamander?
Yes. Swift Salamander is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads Swift Salamander's own release source, so it appears in your update list automatically when a newer version is published, with no configuration.
How does Floodtide install a new version of Swift Salamander?
It downloads the developer's own build and checks it before anything on your Mac changes: against a checksum where the source publishes one, otherwise by requiring the same developer signature as the copy already installed, and Gatekeeper has to accept it. Then it quits Swift Salamander if it is running and puts the new version in place.
Will updating Swift Salamander lose my settings?
No. Floodtide replaces the application only. Preferences, licences and documents live outside it and are untouched.
