I’ve posted an update to the Micro.blog 4.0 beta for Mac. You can download the new version here. There’s no “Check for Updates” for the beta. It improves bookmarking and also adds collecting anonymous machine stats for the first time, so we can have a better sense of what Macs people are using.

@manton are you doing auto-updates in the background — similar to Chrome and others?

@isaiah Nope, I personally don’t like that. I just use a traditional Sparkle update. Prompts and then downloads when the user wants it. (But I don’t have a special feed for the beta…)

@manton you read my mind. i still use sparkle too. i’m not keen on updating a user's software while they’re not looking.

but i sort of get why something like a web browser, that might be a security attack vector, wants to be more proactive.
