Auto Update for WEE?

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Especially since WEE is in a constant state of change, have you considered adding an auto-update feature? Notepad++ has a feature like this, and it's pretty cool.

Specifically, the user could have an option for the program to check to see if it's the latest version. If not, it could report to the user that there's a new version available. Additionally, it could give the user the option to automatically update the program.

Of course, that assumes a couple of things:

  • You've got a stable place to host the code
  • It doesn't cost you an arm and a leg to have a bazillion people hitting that site when WEE becomes popular

I'm thinking that an "auto-update" feature could probably be written as a fairly generic routine, so other programs could use it as well.

Just a thought.
