No surprise that you want to tell me that I need to do something rather than admit or even investigate the problem on your end.
This is my currently installed version:
This the version that is available for download today:
Looks the same to me. Again “ I won’t do anything locally until there is some positive indication of resolution”. You obviously have no intent of helping, you just want to be rid of our silly comments. If you really wanted to help, you would have emailed me what the current version is rather than just assume I don’t have it. I hope are a troll and not actually associated with Cardano. You are doing Cardano a horrible disservice.
What do you mean by “and we are still running version 0.11.1 of Cardano.”? I see your shot of the latest version is “0.11.1#1.3.2”. When I follow RJF’s link to the download page, it tells me it will download 0.11.1
Another question: wouldn’t be good if Daedalus provided a “Check for update” menu item?
No, four days ago, as you’d have seen if you’d looked. You seem much more interested in arguing than solving your problem. Good luck with that and goodbye.
I found the answers to my questions that I asked 20h ago:
What is the current version of Dadelus? 0.11.1#1.3.2.3485
This number is “hidden” in plain sight on iOS title bar at the top of the Daedalus window. The number form is “DaedelusVer#CardonaSL.Macbuild”. Both the Daedalus “About” menu item and the download page http://daedeluswallet.io/#download show the version number as simply 0.11.1. However, if click on the “RELEASE NOTES” LINK “hidden” in fine print at the bottom of the download page you will find that what is updated most frequently is the Cardano SL. The release date is shown here as well.
It would be nice if Daedelus had a “Check for Updates” menu item. This would be more obvious and MUCH faster than trying to sort through the topics and how to ask in a way pleasing to the trolls on the Cardano Forum. I thank Praest for his his guidence on this topic.
For a one click “Check for Updates” I put a link on my desktop to https://daedaluswallet.io/release-notes/ . It took some 15 minutes of exploring Cardano Forum for positive indications of resolution to the frequently asked question about “Daedelus won’t connect to servers”, studying closely the Daedelus Download page, and using critical thinking. Had I just “followed instructions” I would have not learned the whole Daedelus version string and would have remained dependent on the almighty “giver of instructions”. Some instruction givers are reluctant to release their power by answering the questions they are asked. Life’s lessons are learned through critical thinking. (Sorry about the philosophical rant on a technical forum.)
It seems you think what solved your problem in this case is the general answer to connection problems. It’s not. Sometimes updating does help but this problem is multi-factorial, and that inevitably causes confusion.
You don’t need to know about version strings, just do the update when one becomes available. If you make a mistake and install the same version you already have, that will do no harm whatsoever.
Nobody here wants confusion or deliberately obfuscates, I was quite sure of the answer in your case because of the timing and the “coincidence” of matching percentage synching across machines so that’s what I gave you, and though you haven’t actually said so, it looks like that (updating) fixed it for you. You’re welcome.
