winsparkle/NEWS

Version 0.9.2
-------------

- Fix incorrect layout with Chinese and Japanese (#261).
- New and updated translations.


Version 0.9.1
-------------

- Correctly validate public key passed to win_sparkle_set_eddsa_public_key().


Version 0.9.0
-------------

- Added support for EdDSA signatures.
- Added winsparkle-tool for performing signing operations.
- Deprecated DSA signatures. They are still supported, but will be removed in
  a future release and migrating to EdDSA a.s.a.p. is strongly recommended.
  DSA signing scripts are still included in the repository, but were renamed to
  legacy_*.bat to indicate their status.
- WinSparkle has a new updater icon.


Version 0.8.3
-------------

- Fixed <sparkle:minimumSystemVersion> parsing breakage introduced in 0.8.2.
- Also understand major.minor-build for <sparkle:minimumSystemVersion>.


Version 0.8.2
-------------

- Support major.minor.build versioning scheme in <sparkle:minimumSystemVersion>;
  previously only much less useful major.minor.servicepack was used.
- Added support for gzip/deflate-compressed appcasts.
- Added support for ARM-specific enclosures.
- Fixed handling of multiple enclosures to correctly pick the most-specific
  binary available, and to use the latest available app version.
- Fixed feed parsing to ignore appcast order of items and instead find the
  highest compatible version.
- Call cancelled/dismissed callbacks when user closes WinSparkle's window.
- New and updated translations.


Version 0.8.1

  and has whitespace around the URL.

- Added support for Visual Studio 2019 and 2022.
- Added official NuGet package.
- Added support for ARM64 architecture.
- This version drops official support for Windows XP. It may still be possible
  to target it with vs*_xp toolsets, but would probably require at least
  disabling WebView2. Prebuilt binaries and NuGet package don't support XP.
