Updates¶
AM Rig Menu checks for new versions on movahhedi.com — the same update service every AM tool uses.
Automatic checks¶
Once a day, in the background, a few seconds after Maya starts. It never slows Maya down and never blocks it: the check runs off the main thread, and without a connection it simply says nothing.
A window only opens when there is a release you have not already dismissed.
The update window¶
Shelf button → Check for Updates checks straight away:
- What's new lists the highlights and the changes of every release since yours, not only the newest — so jumping from 0.2 to 0.4 shows what 0.3 added too.
- Download opens the download page.
- Skip this version stops reminding you about this one release. A newer one still will. A release marked as critical is shown regardless.
- Remind me later asks again tomorrow.
- Check automatically switches the daily check on or off.
Privacy¶
A check sends the tool name, its version, its update channel, the Maya version, the platform and a random installation id — no name, email, path or anything about your scenes.
