Release Notes
- Major New Features:
- Sparkle now supports scheduled periodic updates—read the Readme for information on how to use it.
- Sparkle now supports WebKit-based release notes (for CSS and full HTML), which it displays in the main update alert, not a separate panel. The Readme has much more information. Sparkle will, of course, fall back on NSTextView if the host app does not include WebKit.
- Minor New Features:
- Added support for .zip update archives.
- Added support for .dmg update archives.
- Implemented Remind Me Later to replace simple update cancellation.
- Implemented Skip This Version functionality.
- Added support for multiple feeds via the user defaults SUFeedURL key taking precedent over the one in Info.plist.
- Added support for Sparkle’s custom XML namespace, which is optional but may prove useful. See the Readme for more information.
- Bug Fixes:
- Sparkle will no longer enter an inconsistent state if the user tries to update again while one is already in progress.
- Sparkle now uses CFBundleName to determine the application’s name instead of the app’s filename.
- Sparkle no longer crashes if the user cancels during extraction.
- Sparkle now uses a more reliable installation method.
- Lots of code refactoring.
