I've added your comments to the feature request that I filed on your behalf earlier. 🙂

The development of 1PW8 remains a mystery for me. I remember some complaints about the old updater interrupting peoples workflow although its implenetation used the approach pretty much every application used. The problem could have been solved be a simple switch.
But I don't remember any complaints about item counts or the search UI. Yet item counts were removed (or to be more precise reimplemented in a way that no one is able to find them) and even worse the search UI was changed in a way that makes it by far the worst implementation of search I've ever seen, i. e. instead of showing all results inline one has to deal with an annoying popup window and extra keyboard shortcut to get all results.

As I consider 1PW a security related software showing the release notes before an update is a must in my opinion.

Thank you, I've passed along your suggestion to the team. 🙂

You can add a user option to choose In preferences to automatically background updates or with notification

The older-style update notifications interrupted some people's workflow, causing them annoyance, which is one reason why we designed the new more silent update mechanism. 🙂

@Dave :
Are you using:” annoyed “ word in your reply?

Interesting enough, making our app update notifications less obtrusive was one of the more popular feature requests that we received back in the 1Password 7 days. Many folks found the release notes and pop-up window to be unnecessary and an interruption to their workflow and just wanted 1Password to stay updated in the background without bothering them.

We always received a few annoyed emails whenever a new update was released. 😅

Personally I liked seeing the release notes on every update but I can understand why many didn't. I've forwarded your comments to our product team so that they can see if we can offer more options in the future.

Fully agree

The "resistance is futile" style update mechanism of 1PW8 is a downgrade compared to 1PW7.
First of all you don't get release notes neither before nor after installation. Even worse you can't even decide if you really want to update. As soon as you get the notfication the app is already replaced in the backround and becomes active when you restart the application.

The way it worked in 1PW7 was way better and the update mechanism used is in line with almost all non app store applications, i. e.:
* open a message box showing the full releasenotes before the update is going to be installed
* offers options to skip, remind later or install now

That’s exactly my question….😀
