What is this?

Tiny Update is an Updater that focuses on being easy to use while being feature rich and fast!

What does this contain?

The main parts of the updater are:

  • IUpdateCreator: This is responsible for creating both delta and full updates
  • IUpdateApplier: This is responsible for applying any update that gets thrown to your application!
  • UpdateChecker: This is responsible for Checking for new updates, downloading updates and getting any release notes (it also contains an IUpdateApplier and exposes the IUpdateApplier functions)
  • Hard Link's: This allows us to have no need for copying files that haven't changed from the last update
  • TinyUpdate.Create: This project allows you to easy create updates for your application! (just type in dotnet tool install --global TinyUpdate.Create to install it and then any time you need to create an update you just have to type in tinyupdate)

What is currently implemented?

This is implemented for Windows and Linux

IUpdateCreator's

BinaryCreator

This is fully implemented

IUpdateApplier's

BinaryApplier

This is fully implemented with Hard Link support and has more modern MsDelta flags, allowing MsDelta to create the smallest update files possible

UpdateChecker's

GithubClient

This is fully implemented with support on both the REST api and the GraphQL api (Note that the GraphQL api needs a personal token that has public_repo)

  • WebClient - This will be for any update that are stored on the internet

Missing
