Nice To Have
============
Update size:
* Support for applying binary patches (eg. with bspatch/bsdiff)
* Try using bzip2 compression instead of standard zip compression
(requires recent version of zip/unzip tools) [done]
Telemetry:
* Call a project-specific URL to report successful/failed update installation
and starting of new app after update
Source:
* Ensure no Mendeley branding in standalone project and publish code [done - left Mendeley icons in
code and make a note that anyone re-using the code will need to replace them]
Reliability:
* Create a lock to prevent Mendeley being started whilst updates are
in progress and to prevent multiple updates being run at once.
* Consider using file system transactions on Windows to make update installation atomic
