The direct download version of WriteRoom updates itself. The Mac App Store version gets its updates from the App Store.

A preview release shows its version in the menu bar, like "WriteRoom 4.0 Preview (404)". Previews expire two weeks after they're built, so keep them updated.
Updates and Your License
Your license includes updates through a date one year after you buy or extend it. If an update was released after your update period ended, WriteRoom tells you before installing it. Install it anyway and WriteRoom runs in Read-Only Mode until you extend your updates. Or choose Earlier Versions… to download one released during your update period.
