If the client isn’t showing an update you can always download a clean update directly from https://d.defold.com/stable/

Looks like editor doesn’t think there is an update yet?

I downloaded 168 from https://d.defold.com/stable. It shows me “update available” button. I agreed. Then editor was downgraded to 167. Fascinating.

Something must have gone wrong when releasing. We’ll investigate tomorrow.

We’ve now published the correct editor version.
Sorry for the delay.

If you press update inside from project in editor. Does not download at all. And writes again update available. And if you press before enter to project at recent projects page. Downloads normal and after installs. Thanks
