Sorry about the issue

[mamoreau-devolutions]

The update file has been modified to disable the new update check, and forcing a fallback to the old update check. We we re-enable the new update check once 2026.1.1 is released, but this time it will properly handle the version comparison. Sorry about the trouble:
