Progress

I included a recording at the end of the post.

  • created a notification that alerts the user when a new version is ready. The user must choose an option in order for the notification to disappear from the screen. The second message won't show if the interval between update checks is exceeded while the first notification is still visible.

  • switched to github releases from my local server. The full download works, however the blockmap files must be added to github releases so that differential updates work.

Plans

  • First Integration
    • In order to give you enough time to review, should I create the PR using my present code—that is, with the error included? Or should I wait until I have fixed the error?
  • Tests for the service
  • Addition of signature for updates ? (in the future)

Problems

There is an error when I try to update, as it can be seen on the recording: "An error occurred: Unknown flag: --updated". I need to fix this for the next week.

Thanks Alice, feel free to create the PR directly including with error. In the PR description please mention what is missing or needs to be improved so that we don't comment on this.

I believe this is not necessary because we already sign the executables.

For this please create a separate pull request.
