📦 There's a new release out of
Conveyor, the packaging tool for desktop apps with integrated support for Kotlin and Compose. In Conveyor 15 we've added a new
update control API that lets your app take control of its own online upgrade schedule, allowing you to deviate from the two built-in policies: background updates like Chrome, and synchronous updates on start like a web app.
This new feature is especially useful for people writing apps designed to run a long time without restart like kiosks, or other embedded use cases.
You can just add a Maven dependency to get access to the API, and the built-in scaffold apps reated by
conveyor generate compose com.example.foo-bar
have an example of how to check for updates and apply them.
Happy shipping!
