Update
An Extensible Update Library
For anything, from `CurrentProgram` to Plugins.
## Documentation
For the latest documentation for Update and more details about the library, please see the dedicated [documentation site](https://sewer56.dev/Update/).
Alternatively, check the `docs` folder of this repository.
## About Update
`Update` is a lightweight-ish updating framework for .NET applications.
It is designed with the purpose of updating arbitrary things, including but not limited to:
- Current Application
- Plugins
- Modules
The goal of this library is to be extensible; allowing users to easily add support for their own components such as download sources and compression formats without requiring changes to the library code.
Update is heavily inspired by [Onova](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/Onova) by Alexey Golub and has a somewhat similar API. `Update` in particular adds additional features such as delta compression at the expense of a slightly more complex configuration process.
## When to use Update
- You ship very big updates and require delta compression support between versions.
- You want to clean up your application folder after updates.
- You want to update things other than just the application you are running.
- You need to support Semantic Versioning (and thus Prereleases).
## When to not use Update
Consider using the original [Onova](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/Onova) (or another library) if you have any of the following requirements:
- If you wish to use this library with .NET Framework (VCDiff needs backported).
- You need a simpler CI/CD deployment & integration experience.
- You can only upload 1 file to a given website.
## Etymology
Update is a pun on the name [Onova](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/Onova), which is the Ukrainian word for "update" (noun).
