+print("""
+The update feature hang issue has been fixed by:
+
+1. Created UpdateDownloadWorker class that runs async operations in a 
+   background thread (instead of blocking the UI thread).
+
+2. The worker properly handles:
+   - Downloading the update asynchronously
+   - Verifying checksums asynchronously  
+   - Emitting signals for UI updates
+
+3. MainWindow's _perform_update_async() method now:
+   - Creates a background thread for the worker
+   - Connects signals for download complete/failure handlers
+   - Keeps a reference to prevent garbage collection
+   - Properly cleans up threads after completion
+
+Result: The update dialog now displays without freezing the application!
+        The user can interact with the UI while the download happens.
