If you run Sigasi HDT as a standalone application, the automated update system will periodically check for updates. When updates are available, you are notified by a pop-up window called Updates Available in the bottom right corner:

If you want to install the updates, click anywhere in the pop-up window. After a few seconds, a new window will appear with further instructions.

The updates can be postponed by closing the pop-up. You can perform the updates at any time by clicking the update-icon in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

If the updates are not automatically fetched from our update server you are probably behind a firewall or proxy server. You can configure HDT's proxy settings in Window > Preferences > General > Network connections. If you can not add a firewall exception for our update site, the fallback solution is to download the complete application from our website. You can completely replace your old installation; all settings are stored in your workspace (the default is workspace-sigasi in your home directory).

Sigasi HDT Eclipse Plugin

If you run Sigasi HDT as an Ecipse plugin, you may need to check for updates manually, by clicking Help > Check for Updates.

You can enable automatic updates by opening this preference page : Install/Update > Automatic Updates. Next enable Automatically find new updates and notify me. Feel free to modify any of the available options.

It is good practice to first create a backup of your installation folder before running an update. This can be done by simply compressing the eclipse or the hdt folder in an archive (zip file)
