0.11.2

NetSparkle 0.11.2

Forgot to actually set the assembly version in 0.11.0 and subsequently forgot to actually rebuild when publishing 0.11.1 to NuGet. It's fixed now.

0.11.0

NetSparkle 0.11.0

Added

• Refactored logic to quit application to a separate QuitApplication() function

0.10.0

NetSparkle 0.10.0

• This changelog
• Sparkle class documentation to the readme
• Section about how the appcast works to the readme

Changed

Much thanks to @stephenwade for his contributions to 0.10.0

• Cleaned up and added documentation comments throughout the code (@stephenwade)
• Renamed lots of identifiers throughout the project to remove "NetSparkle" (i.e., NetSparkleAppCast to AppCast, NetSparkleConfiguration to Configuration, etc.) (@stephenwade)
• Renamed property UseSyncronizedForms to ShowsUIOnMainThread to better represent what it does (@stephenwade)
• Renamed events CloseWPFSoftware and CloseWPFSoftwareAsync to CloseApplication and CloseApplicationAsync (@stephenwade)
  • These events are now always run, if present (instead of only on RunningFromWPF)
  • If one of these events is set, it will be run instead of quitting your app (to allow you a custom quit procedure), so these events should take care of quitting your app.
• Renamed DSAVerificator to DSAChecker (@stephenwade)
• Folder output changed to be more organized
• Updated LICENSE file
• Update NuGet package items

Removed

• deprecated property EnableSilentMode
• property RunningFromWPF

0.9.1.1

NetSparkle 0.9.1.1

• Added ClearOldInstallers Action that you can implement on your own to remove old installers. Use this if you download installers to a custom folder and need to erase them later.
• Fixed compilation issue with EnableSilentMode (not sure how I never came across this!)

0.9.1

NetSparkle 0.9.1

• Added UpdateSize to NetSparkleAppCastItem => analogous to the length field within the <enclosure> tag
• Added IsCriticalUpdate to NetSparkleAppCastItem => to use, add sparkle:criticalUpdate="true" as an attribute to the <enclosure> tag
  • When any update that the user needs is marked as critical, the skip and remind me later buttons are disabled
  • When an update is marked as critical, the release notes for that version state that the update is critical
  • To do something about a critical update in your own software, check Sparkle.LatestAppCastItems or Sparkle.UpdateMarkedCritical to see if an update in the list of updates that the user needs is critical

0.9

NetSparkle 0.9

• Added several more diagnostic messages for debugging on the console
• New SilentMode option to allow for the "normal" update process (NotSilent), completely silent updates (DownloadAndInstall), or silent downloads that you as the developer initiate the start of the update manually (DownloadNoInstall)
  • DownloadAndInstall may be quite jarring to your users if you don't tell them the software is about to quit to restart. Use AboutToExitForInstallerRun or AboutToExitForInstallerRunAsync to monitor for these events.
  • For proper DownloadNoInstall use, monitor the DownloadedFileReady event to know when things are ready. At some later time, call _sparkle.ShowUpdateNeededUI(true); to show the software update window. You may want to monitor other events as well to keep your user from performing another update check while a software update is downloading.
• Deprecated EnableSilentMode in lieu of SilentMode
• Added TmpDownloadFilePath to redirect the download location. This should be a folder, not a full path. Note that you still need to manually delete files that are downloaded here.
• Stopped the software from redownloading the installer if it already exists on disk (saves bandwidth and time on the user's part)
  • Note that NetSparkle does not perform resumable downloads in between software instances
• Fixed potential infinite software update download loop if the software keeps downloading corrupted files (corrupt files or ones that don't pass the DSA check).
