Question

Hi there! Yesterday, April 15, I received a notification in the viewer "we download an update ... '. I ignored because they would not lose (delay) what he was doing. When I left and returned later version tried to install, but failed. I tried log in the viewer, but I could not (this happens whenever a version installs via notification). I had to uninstall my current version 4.0.3 and reinstall again the site. what's going on ??? Because versions are coming as quick? in this case, at least 1 month!

Oh, there are MANY more than just one new update per month.  There have been 29 versions since version 4.0.0.307894 was released on November 18, 2015.  That's an average of almost 6 per month.  Linden Lab is constantly experimenting with the viewer.  Some of the experiments are trying to repair bugs, and some are to make improvements or introduce new features. 

Open Preferences >>> Setup and look at the choices right in the middle of the page about Software Updates.  You can use the menu to accept updates automatically, or you can choose to update manually.  Also, if you check the box for Release Candidates, you will get all of the truly experimental versions as well as the ones with major bug fixes. If you leave that box UNchecked and choose to update your viewer manually, you will only be forced to change your viewer on those rare occasions when Linden Lab introduces a mandatory upgrade (usually once or twice a year).
