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)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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
