Updates apply without a restart when they safely can
2 changes, to the system and Rime Shell.
Highlights
Updates apply without a restart when they safely can
sudo rime update now applies Rime Shell, rimed and Rime tool updates straight away when it is safe, never while the screen is locked or a game is running, and tells you whether anything still needs a restart. rime live status shows what changed.
Updates page in Settings, and the shell reports its version and lock state for live updates
Settings has a new Updates page that shows what the last update changed, what is already running, and whether a restart is still needed.

Published to every image tag (apex, daily, edge, gaming-mesa, gaming-nvidia, rime). All of them are the edge channel today. This page explains the release; it is never consulted by an update. What a machine installs is decided by the registry and the image signature (see Security). Machine-readable: 2026.10.10.3.json.
If something is wrong
Go back to the image you were running before this one. It becomes the default at the next boot; your files and settings stay as they are.
sudo rime rollback && sudo systemctl rebootOn an APEX-named system the command is apex. You can also pick the previous entry in the boot menu. More in Rolling back and Recovery.
