It should self update.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

I have found the reason. https://yarnpkg.com/latest-version still returns 0.16.0

@adambuczynski it's because yarnpkg/website repo isn't updated yet. https://yarnpkg.com/latest-version

This is intentional, we're holding off on 0.17.x until a few more changes land (see #1859)

@torifat Yes I got that from the contents of this issue, but as it was resolved as fixed 22 days ago, I assumed it wouldn't be happening anymore.

@Daniel15 ah ok, that makes sense then. But when I installed yarn on a new device yesterday, it did install 0.17.0 (which was rather buggy). So maybe those versions shouldn't be pushed to npm at all if they are not ready to be released publicly.

Yes, we had to revert it. https://github.com/yarnpkg/website/pull/264
