Update Messenger

If you are using a messenger version that is not listed here, you may update your messenger and your messenger project with the following steps:

Use messenger sync (recommended)

Run messenger sync in your project directory. This will update the templates, JS files, and elm.json dependencies automatically. Use messenger sync --list to check for available updates without making changes.

Manual upgrade

1. Install the latest Messenger CLI:

pipx install -i https://pypi.python.org/simple elm-messenger>=0.6.0

2. Remove .messenger in your messenger project:

cd <your project directory with .messenger>
rm -rf .messenger

3. Upgrade Messenger libraries. Edit your elm.json, change the following packages to the latest version:

"linsyking/elm-regl": "10.0.0",
"linsyking/messenger-core": "20.0.0"

Then run make!
