with 5.0.10.74 and 5.0.10.82 I get the correct responses on macOS Monterey.

I also tried to talk to the update server directly both with a web browser and with curl and always get the

Latest version is "Subsurface-5.0.10", please check <a href="http://subsurface-divelog.org/download">our downloads page</a> for information on how to upgrade.

even when I GET /updatecheck.html?os=osx&version=5.0.10.82&uuid=ca73c783-0d0b-40f5-92e2-ae062f323bc2
which is the URL that I captured with wireshark when the latest version of Subsurface asked for it. Strange but should not be one of your worries since that is not an API that is exposed to the users. I only did it because I wanted to see what the update check actually does as I wondered why you do it with some Qt magic rather than about ten lines of perl. Anyway, don’t worry.
