(This is a cross post from http://qt-project.org/forums/, so if you read both, please don't get mad or anything.)
Hi,
one of my Qt projects required an autoupdate mechanism and I didn’t find a convincing one, so I created my own. Maybe you’ll find it useful or even contribute:
Fervor (https://github.com/pypt/fervor) is a simple, multiplatform (Qt-based) application autoupdater, inspired by Sparkle (http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/).
Features:
Multiplaform (works / should work on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, …).
Checks for updates both automatically and manually.
Displays release notes.
Updates might be skipped or installed later.
Backwards compatible with Sparkle (can use the very same appcast RSS).
BSD license.
It’s not so much an autoupdate library at the moment (it only shows a link to the user with an update, and the user has to install it him/herself), but it does the job.
Check it out: Fervor at GitHub (https://github.com/pypt/fervor). There are some screenshots too.
