How will Moodle Desktop get updated to the latest release?

Why has Moodle released Moodle Desktop?
Moodle Desktop is another step that Moodle is taking to make online learning more accessible - for students, educators and other users - who are utilising various operating systems and devices.
Feedback has shown that Moodle users in the K-12, higher education and workplace sectors would like the option of accessing their courses through desktops, laptops or tablets, which are the devices often provided by their institutions or organisations.”
Making Moodle Desktop available in Windows operating system is also important, as many of our users are also studying and learning in this environment.
Where can I get support for Moodle Desktop?
You can join in the discussions on Moodle Mobile and Desktop at our Moodle for mobile forum.
