The kernel comes from Arch, so it's shown separately. version also tells you:
The kernel and video driver come from Arch, so they're shown separately. version also tells you:
- if a newer version of CoreDesktop is available
- if a newer version of CoreDesktop, the kernel or the video driver is available
- if a newer kernel is installed and waiting for a reboot
- if your copy of CoreDesktop has local changes (it says "modified")
In a script, `version --check` prints the newer version if there is one.
### Sibling projects
If you've installed [sibling projects](/siblings/), version lists each one with its version: its latest release tag, such as `v1.2.0`, or, if it has none, the date and id of its latest change, like CoreDesktop's. For each one with a newer version, it asks whether to update it now. Answer `y` to update just that project without running a full update; update still keeps them all current.
In a script, `version --check` prints the newer version of CoreDesktop if there is one. It doesn't look at sibling projects; `sibling check` does.
### You don't have to check by hand
