## Automatic Update Checks

dovi\_convert automatically performs background update checks:

* When you run dovi\_convert without any command (shows usage)
* After successful completion of any command

These checks are non-blocking and don't delay command execution.

## Manual Installation

To update dovi\_convert:

1. Download the latest version from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/cryptochrome/dovi_convert/releases)
2. Replace your existing `dovi_convert.py` file
3. Run `dovi_convert --help` to verify the new version
