Nope. I'm glad Galleon gave up quickly on the "update" feature before QB64 hit version 1. It could become a complicated mess that nobody would want to maintain. Who's going to maintain it?
Imagine while someone is using QB64 editor and his/her Internet is enabled, suddenly a pop-up cries there is an update. Who wants to deal with that, even if he/she expected to be informed of updates? An entire operating system is being dumped on because of it...
Also a "new" release doesn't necessarily mean it's better according to the user's program written. If the program for QB64 to compile was created during v0.98 then v3.1 or any other later release isn't going to make it better. Maybe except how compilation proceeds, how fast it goes down and the size of the EXE or Linux/MacOS executable. Trust me that I have done that last night.
