Check for updates now didn't detect 11.02 from 11.01

Post by *alphonse68 »

Hello everyone.
Currently having 11.01 installed, I ran Check for updates now. I was surprised when it told me that my version of TC is up to date.
I'm using x64 on Win X.
Mind you that on my other laptop, also with 11.01, where it checks for updates automatically, it told me about the new version.
Cheers.

P.S. - I have not updated it in case someone has a question or something.

Put this on TC's command line and press Shift+Enter:
nslookup -type=TXT releaseversion.ghisler.com
It should say: "10.11.2.0;1"

Hmm.. but "nslookup -type=A releaseversion.ghisler.com" gives "10.11.1.0"

nslookup -type=TXT releaseversion.ghisler.com gives "10.11.2.0;1" here. Your provider must be caching the DNS records for an awfully long time. The validity of the ghisler.com zone is set to 4 hours, and the releaseversion.ghisler.com record only 900 seconds (15 minutes).
You can try a different dns server with nslookup as follows:
1. Start nslookup without any parameters
2. Enter the following commands one by one:
server 8.8.8.8
set type=TXT
releaseversion.ghisler.com

It's even easier with nslookup:

Code: Select all

nslookup -type=TXT releaseversion.ghisler.com 9.9.9.9

Cool!
After running the suggested commands, I got the desired message that there is an update. Thanks all.
