GitHub for Mac version 1.2.5 introduces a new update panel that provides users with detailed information about the features included in each release, along with a convenient Relaunch button that allows users to easily restart the application and continue from where they left off. This update panel will only appear after users update to version 1.2.5, and it won't be present in earlier versions. The update is designed to download automatically, though users can manually check for updates via the GitHub menu. New users can download the application from mac.github.com. The announcement was made by Justin Palmer, also known as @Caged.
