I get "An Update is Available"

Hi,

I constantly get this message and I click just to find out it is the same version I currently use.

But if I click on “Release notes“ I see a higher version, but it links to VS-Code download.

Anyone understands this?

Appreciate your input.

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you let me know which version of Cursor you are using and your OS? Also, could you share a screenshot and the link you’re redirected to when you click on Release Notes?

Please let me know which Linux distribution you’re using, deb, rpm, or AppImage.
