## 💡 Key ideas

* The updater tries to list all AdoptOpenJDK installations on your machine - automatically
* Every time it launches (i.e., scheduled on logon), it checks for updates in background
* Every time it launches (i.e., on logon - if scheduled), it checks for updates in background
* If there are new versions, you will be notified
* **For advanced users:** It also provides a lot of manual controls - but they require some fine-tuning. Just read the tooltips, there are tons of them.

## 🔕 Known not-a-bugs

* **JAVA_HOME** value is updated when the *app is launched* (either in configuration mode or during background check). If you change JAVA_HOME value while running configuration screen, the value will not be updated in the app. However, you can close the configuration window safely: when the next background check occurs, actual value of JAVA_HOME at that time will be used
* ⚠ Please keep in mind that if **JAVA_HOME** installation significantly changes (i.e., 8 → 11, or JRE → JDK), you should update API parameters manually _(because the app cannot decide whether this is intended or not)._<br> You can use `Detect (reset) API settings for selected` button to do it.
* If the configuration app **continiously** reminds you to turn on scheduled task (even if you opted out before), this happens because you have not either added some installations manually, or turned auto-discovery on. Once you set at least one of these, the app will consider itself as 'configured' and will remember your opt-out.
* For **manually** added installations that were released prior to Sep 16 2020, it may be not always possible to detect build number. **Thus you may miss an update**, say, from `8.0.265+1` to `8.0.265+2` - but only for manually added installations _(custom path or JAVA_HOME)_. **It is highly recommended to use automatic discovery** (which detects build numbers) for releases downloaded and installed prior to 16 September 2020.
