Wrong Mac version uploaded

Hi, I just updated the Mac version of butler using butler upgrade and the installed version now claims to be:

$ butler --version
head, built on Feb 20 2026 @ 19:34:08

It seems to be working fine but now butler update is requiring --force for further upgrades.

Edit 2: A new version has been pushed with the fix: https://github.com/itchio/butler/releases/tag/v15.26.1

Thanks for the heads-up, were you on the mainline release or the development release previously?

Edit: I found the issue, it was due to a change in our CI deploys. The next version of butler will have the correct version baked in.

A slight issue though, it may switch you to the development “head” channel since you likely went from a mainline release (which mistakenly thought it was a development build) that then suggested an auto update on the development branch. That means future updates will likely also pull from development.

The development branch is generally stable, it’s used to deploy to the kitch app, but I recommend redownloading the main version after this if you’d like to ensure you’re on the mainline release again.

As far as I know I was on mainline previously. Thanks for looking into and fixing this issue!

It looks like when I do butler upgrade it’s still keeping me on dev, though. How do I switch back to mainline?

EDIT: Had to restart the itch app (for some reason the “manage” button wasn’t bringing up anything) but was able to reinstall from there.
