A Rust-based software updater for (primarily) Windows applications.
The goal of this tool is to enable file-level updates for supported applications, allowing for faster downloads of updates, downgrades, or any other kind of version change.
⚠️ Warning: This software is in a very early, pre-release stage. Use at your own risk. I cannot be held responsible for accidentally overwritten files.
When you request a version change, the updater detects which files you already have, which files have changed, and which files are no longer needed. Only the changed or missing files are downloaded and installed. This approach reduces update time and data usage, especially for large applications (e.g., MomentoBooth).
Version definition: A YAML file describes each version by listing the files it contains. The YAML should be named after the version identifier. For every file, it includes:
It is up to the implementer to decide on the version naming scheme. I personally stick to stable and Git revision hashes.
Update files are currently compressed with Brotli, as it offers fast compression/decompression and decent compression ratios. The naming scheme of the update files consist of the actual SHA256 of the original (uncompressed) file, to allow easy lookup of the right file.
