Version 0.8.2 (2024-12-03)

This release adds x86_64-pc-windows-gnu to the list of targets for which we publish binaries. It also contains a few small changes to the library:

  • The new AxoUpdater::VERSION constant exposes axoupdater's version.
  • The AxoUpdater::install_prefix_root method is now public.

Version 0.8.1 (2024-10-31)

This release fixes an issue with the previous release in which {app_name}_INSTALLER_GITHUB_BASE_URL wouldn't respect the port specified by the user.

Version 0.8.0 (2024-10-31)

This release adds support for overriding the GitHub API URL using new environment variables:

  • {app_name}_INSTALLER_GITHUB_BASE_URL
  • {app_name}_INSTALLER_GHE_BASE_URL

For more information, see the dist installer docs.

Version 0.7.3 (2024-10-22)

This release contains improvements on Windows, ensuring that temporary files and files from older versions are correctly cleaned up.

Version 0.7.2 (2024-09-11)

This release fixes a bug that caused axoupdater to return a confusing error message if it attempted to load an install receipt containing a reference to an install path which no longer exists.

Version 0.7.1 (2024-08-28)

This release improves compatibility with certain Windows configurations by setting the execution policy before running the new installer. A similar change is shipped in cargo-dist 0.21.2.

This release also contains a forward-looking change to ensure compatibility with installers produced by future versions of cargo-dist (#169).

Version 0.7.0 (2024-07-25)

This release improves debugging for users who use axoupdater as a crate and who disable printing stdout/stderr from the installer. If the installer runs but fails, we now return a new error type which contains the stderr/stdout and exit status from the underlying installer; this can be used by callers to help identify what failed.

This release also introduces a debugging feature for the standalone installer. It's now possible to override which installer to use by setting the AXOUPDATER_INSTALLER_PATH environment variable to the path on disk of the installer to use. A similar feature was already available to library users using the AxoUpdater::configure_installer_path method.

Version 0.6.9 (2024-07-18)

This release fixes a bug in which axoupdater could pick the wrong installer when handling releases containing more than one app.

Version 0.6.8 (2024-07-05)

This release updates cargo-dist.

Version 0.6.7 (2024-07-05)

This release adds an experimental opt-in tls_native_roots feature.

Version 0.6.6 (2024-06-12)

This release updates several dependencies.

Version 0.6.5 (2024-05-30)

This release makes us prefer creating temporary files nested under the install directory, avoiding issues with renaming files across filesystems, in cases where the system tempdir is on a separate logic drive.

Version 0.6.4 (2024-05-14)

This release contains two bugfixes for the previous release:

  • Improved path handling in check_receipt_is_for_this_executable.
  • Fixed an issue where checking cargo-dist versions from the receipt would fail if the cargo-dist version was a prerelease.

Version 0.6.3 (2024-05-14)

This release removes a temporary workaround for an upstream cargo-dist bug, removing an ambiguity in install-receipts that pointed at a dir named "bin" for cargo-dist 0.15.0 and later.

Version 0.6.2 (2024-05-09)

This release fixes a bug which could prevent fetching release information from GitHub for repositories with under 30 releases (#106).

Version 0.6.1 (2024-05-02)

This release reexports the Version type to simplify calling set_current_version.

Version 0.6.0 (2024-05-01)

This release contains several new features:

  • It's now possible to specify the path to install to via the new set_install_dir method. This is especially useful in cases where no install receipt will be loaded, since this value is required for performing full updates.
  • It's now possible to skip querying for new versions and force updates to always be performed; this is done by calling always_update(bool) on the updater. This is useful in cases where the version of the installed copy of the software to be updated isn't known, or when using axoupdater to perform a first-time install.
  • It's now possible to specify a GitHub token via the set_github_token method. This is useful when the repo to query is private, or in order to opt into the higher rate limit granted to authenticated requests. AxoUpdater uses this in its own tests. The standalone axoupdater executable uses this feature by reading optional tokens specified in the AXOUPDATER_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.

Version 0.5.1 (2024-04-16)

This release relaxes the range of the axoasset dependency.

Version 0.5.0 (2024-04-11)

This release contains a few new features targeted primarily at testing environments.

  • A new feature enables forcing axoupdater to call a custom installer at a specified path on disk instead of downloading a new release. This is only expected to be useful for testing. (#77)
  • It's now possible to query for a new release without performing an update. (#78)
  • It's now possible to manually specify the release source used for querying new releases without needing to read it from an install receipt. (#81)

Version 0.4.1 (2024-04-10)

This is a minor patch release to preserve more http error info in cases where GitHub is flaking out (#80).

Version 0.4.0 (2024-04-08)

This release contains a few new features and fixes:

  • Pagination has been implemented for the GitHub API, making it possible to query for specific releases older than the 30 most recent versions. (#70
  • Improved version parsing and handling has been adding, ensuring that axoupdater will no longer try to pick an older stable version if the user is already running on a newer release. (#72)
  • Added a test helper to simplify end-to-end self-updater tests for users of the axoupdater library. (#76)

Version 0.3.6 (2024-04-05)

This is a minor bugfix release. It updates the ordering of axo releases queries to reflect changes to the deployed API.

Version 0.3.5 (2024-04-05)

This is a minor bugfix release. It makes us try to temporarily rename the current executable on windows, in case we're about to overwrite it.

Version 0.3.4 (2024-04-04)

This is a minor bugfix release. It fixes an issue which would cause Windows updates to fail if the parent process is PowerShell Core.

Version 0.3.3 (2024-03-21)

This is a minor bugfix release. It relaxes the reqwest dependency, which had been bumped to 0.12.0 in the previous release. It will now accept either 0.11.0 or any later version.

Version 0.3.2 (2024-03-21)

This is a minor bugfix release:

  • more robust behaviour when paired with installers built with cargo-dist 0.12.0 (not yet released)
  • fix for an issue on windows where the installer would never think the receipt matched the binary

Version 0.3.1 (2024-03-18)

This is a minor bugfix release which fixes loading install receipts which contain UTF-8 byte order marks.

Version 0.3.0 (2024-03-08)

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements:

  • axoupdater now compares the path to which the running program was installed to the path it locates in the install receipt, and declines to upgrade if they're not equivalent. This fixes an issue where a user who had installed a copy with an installer which produced an install receipt and a second copy from a package manager would be prompted to upgrade even on the package manager-provided version.
  • The run() and run_sync() methods now provide information on the upgrade that they performed. If the upgrade was performed, it returns the old and new versions and the tag that the new version was built from.
  • It's now possible to silence stdout and stderr from the underlying installer when using axoupdater as a library.

Version 0.2.0 (2024-03-06)

This release makes a breaking change to the library API. run() and is_update_needed() are now both async methods; new run_sync() and is_update_needed_sync() methods have been added which replicate the old behaviour. This should make it easier to incorporate the axoupdater library into asynchronous applications, especially applications which already use tokio.

To use the blocking methods, enable the blocking feature when importing this crate as a library.

Version 0.1.0 (2024-03-01)

This is the initial release of axoupdater, including both the standalone binary and the library for embedding in other binaries.
