It stopped working for years, but that got fixed a couple of years back 
and - depending on your settings - the update can happen automatically, 
you can be told that there is an update or nothing happens at all.

That all applies to Windows setups, it's controlled via Preferences > 
Advanced > Software Installtion.  On my Windows machine, I have it set 
to check daily, it then informs me that there's a new level.  There's 
also a "Check for Updates" under Help.

My Linux machines do not have that option, presumably they've been 
compiled that way.  No idea about the Apple world.
