Changelog
What each version changed: the English translation of the notes the app shows when it offers an update.
How to read a version number
Two numbers travel with each release, and they do not say the same thing.
| Number | Form | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| Version | 2026.9.18 | A date: the day the version was built. It is the number shown everywhere. |
| Build | 2026.9.18.9 | “Day · rank”. It increases with every release, without exception: two releases carrying the same number would make the second one invisible to copies already installed, which would never be offered the update. |
The rank is not derived from today's date — a clock that goes backward or a change of time zone would be enough to hand out a number that has already shipped. It is computed from the highest number known, looked up in three independent sources, including the release tags of the repository.
Where update notices come from
The app offers the following versions by itself. To find out about them, it queries the publisher's update feed — and nothing else is sent there: no account, no measurement, no statistics. Together with opening the trial at first launch and activating a license, once per Mac, these are all the requests Quotum addresses to the publisher: three in total, described on the page What Quotum reads on your Mac.
The feed and the changelog say the same thing. The notes the app shows when it offers an update are the entries of the changelog, not a second draft that could drift apart. They are written in French, word for word as on the French changelog; the entries below are their English translation.

What this changelog will not do. Remove a version from this list after the fact, or rewrite what a version changed once it has shipped. An entry that turns out to be wrong is corrected by a later entry that says so, not by striking it out.
