On every startup (unless Preferences > General turns the new "Check for updates" toggle off) the app GETs https://www.oakvideoeditor.org/api/v1/update/latest, parses the documented latest-release JSON and, when the remote version is newer than the running build, prompts with a dialog whose primary button opens https://www.oakvideoeditor.org/downloads. The blocking fetch runs on the gpui background executor with a 5 s bound; transport and parse failures are silent, and a release found while another modal is up (the project manager on a fresh start) is deferred until the modal layer frees. The transport sits behind an `UpdateTransport` seam so tests script the response without touching the network; version comparison strips the `v` prefix and pre-release suffixes and orders the components numerically (an unparsable remote falls back to string inequality). Help > Report a Bug... opens https://www.oakvideoeditor.org/bug-report. The eight shipped i18n packs carry the new menu/preferences/update keys.

Roadmap
| Version | Theme | Core Deliverables | Boundary Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | Plugin Architecture Milestone | Production-ready OpenFX host support | Not about quantity of plugins, but "any OFX plugin loads without crashing" |
| 0.4 | Color, Audio & Performance | .cube/.3dl support, scopes (waveform/vectorscope/histogram), three-way color wheels, waveform auto-sync, BWF timecode sync, audio meters (LUFS/VU), proxy media workflow, hardware-accelerated export (NVENC/VideoToolbox), batch render queue |
Combines the previous 0.4-0.6 scope into one usability milestone: color workflow, audio sync, and 4K/8K performance |
| 0.5 | Animation, Tracking & Collaboration | Bézier keyframe curve editor, basic point tracking, image stabilizer, full multicam angle switching, OpenTimelineIO, EDL/XML import/export | Combines the previous 0.7-0.8 scope into one timeline/interchange milestone |
| 0.6 | Stability Milestone | Project file format freeze (backward compatibility promise), crash recovery, autosave, memory optimization | "Feature freeze" testing period before 1.0 |
| 1.0 | Production Ready | Complete documentation, installers, known issues list, community support channels | Declared "ready for serious projects" |
