Thank you!

@edvin I indeed went the String way

@ron Great!

I'll finish it tonight I think we need a release of fxlauncher, so the plugin is not dependent on a snapshot

Is everything good with FXLauncher so we can do the release?

yes

OK, great! I'll release tonight.

@ron There are no entries in the Changelog for version 1.0.16 of FXLauncher. What changed? 🙂

I'll add the one thing I changed 🙂

Hehe, sweet! I can do the release now if you have time to add to the changelog.

done

Thanks, releasing.

awesome

in the weekend I will finish three things I want to have in the plugin and then I think we can release a version 1

(Uiprovider, native installer and fix whatsnew)

Fantastic!

I just got a user request by a guy here...

where is here?

He wants to be notified if there are updates in app...

We could create a timer that checks if a new manifest is available and use the systray to show a notification.

The user would have to restart the app at will to get the update, so all that is needed is a notification.

in fxlauncher or in the app itself?

This could actually be done in FXLauncher pretty easily..

in FXlauncher its easy and we could expose it as a library to the app itself

Yeah, that's a great idea.. so if you don't like the default mechanism, or want to force the user to restart immediately, you can opt out of the built in notification and handle it yourself.

yup

as Fxlauncher is only 18Kb big we could put it in there

This would be pretty easy... I'd like to try to create the library function right away and include it in 1.0.16, OK?

sure

Sweet. I think I'll just make

AbstractLauncher.manifest

static and expose a function that will download and compare, and return a boolean for now.
