Small Basic Featured Program - AutoUpdater version 2.0 released

September last year, Timo Söchtig released a small snippet which contained an automatic update function for Small Basic.

See Small Basic: AutoUpdater Code Snippet.

This snippet will check if a newer version of your program is available for download. And if there is a new version, it will download and install it.

It won the TechNet Guru Gold Medal (category: Small Basic) and got featured on the homepage of TechNetWiki.

He recently released an update for it. A huge one.

  • He added multi-version support
  • He added a chooseable interface (textwindow, graphics window)
  • He did an overhaul of the whole update structure
  • He added five commands for the user
  • He wrote a program to create the needed updatefile

  

You can find more detailed information on the TechNet Wiki article about AutoUpdater.

Thanks to Timo for this fantastic community contribution!
