"Check for Updates" does not find updates

[MaxA]

With the 6.1.14 and 6.1.16 releases, "Check for Updates" on OSX has not found any updates. 6.1.16 was released 6 days ago and when I ran 6.1.14 just now and check, it says "You are on the latest version". I obviously can't check 6.1.16 has the same issues, but the last 2 releases have, so I guess this will too.

Hmm, seems to be the fault of Oracle's release process not updating the latest build when doing a release. I would assume that these days an automated release script should be doing the build and updating things like this as necessary??

$ curl 'https://update.virtualbox.org/query.php?platform=DARWIN_64BITS_GENERIC&version=6.1.16'

$ curl 'https://update.virtualbox.org/query.php?platform=DARWIN_64BITS_GENERIC&version=6.1.14'

$ curl 'https://update.virtualbox.org/query.php?platform=DARWIN_64BITS_GENERIC&version=6.1.12'
6.1.14 https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.14/VirtualBox-6.1.14-140239-OSX.dmg

Come on guys, the release notes say "VirtualBox 6.1.16 (released October 16 2020)"

This has been resolved now. The VirtualBox release process doesn't change the update version immediately upon the release of a new VBox version in case there are any significant issues seen with the release which weren't caught internally. It's only after a few days that the update check is updated so there is a window when a new VBox release is out but the 'Check for updates' option doesn't find it.
