No update notice for 4.9.1?
Being one of those ocd types who reflexively updates every time Calibre tells me there's a newer version, I'm a little curious as to why I have not received any notification regarding the availability of 4.9.1? I've been getting by with the quite LUDICROUSLY antiquated 4.9.0, unaware of just how far behind the times I really was

You will only get the popup once, per release. After which it should show in the status line.

Yes, that is the behaviour I'm used to. In this case, it did neither. The only way I knew there was a 4.9.1 was seeing it in thread subject lines here. Not critical, just curious.

It does not notify if only the third component of the version number is different from what you already have.

So, very literally, "a feature, not a bug"

Indeed, I get enough complaints about how frequently calibre updates already. So for last digit releases which are only made to fix obscure bugs, withing a ew hours of a release, I dont send notifications. People that care about the obscure bugs will hopefully look for and find the fix themselves.

Very sensible. As I said above, it was not a complaint or a criticism, just a question out of (idle) curiosity.

I have never understood why people complain about update notifications. It's not like Windows and will not automatically update. All they need to do is click cancel. It seems excessive to have to complain about it. Especially since you are fixing bugs that while not affecting them is still causing someone problems. Now if the bug was affecting them they would probably be screaming for an update.
Thank you, Kovid.
