Loopback's Preferences window

### Software Update

Automatically check for software updates: With this option activated, Loopback periodically compares itself to the most current version available from our server and alerts you when a new version is available. Leave this on and Loopback will help you stay up-to-date. You can also select "Check for Update" from the Loopback menu to initiate a check manually.
