Updating Halo Link

Halo Link will silently auto-update by default. For other options, see below.

Release notes

Details of each release and what changed in each version can be found in the Release notes. Each entry lists the Halo Link and Halo Cloud changes included in the release. Not all releases contain changes to both.

The dates assigned to each release refer to the day the release went live on the Staging environment. Production releases are often days, if not weeks, later.
