The Updates Page

This page allows you to add a new update to the project and configure it.

The order of the updates in the tree is the order in which they are released. The first one is the newest.

Adding a new update

Use the [ New Update ], the "New Update" context menu option or press the Insert key.

Specifying the replaced updates

You can use the [ Replaces ] toolbar button or the "Add > Replaces" context menu item.

Let's suppose that we have three updates: U1, U2 and U3. Also, U1 and U2 are a bit older and all the improvements included in them are also included in U3. In this case the installation of U1 and U2 would be redundant because U3 contains the same modifications.

In order to avoid the installation of all three updates you can set U3 to replace U1 and U2. This way the Updater will see and install only the U3 update and it will no longer see or install the U1 and U2 updates (although they are still available).

Specifying update dependencies

You can use the [ Dependency ] toolbar button or the "Add > Dependency" context menu item.

If you have an update which depends on another update you can use the update dependencies feature. For example, if U1 cannot be installed while U2 is not already installed then you can set U1 to depend on U2. This way, the Updater will first install U2 and only after it is finished correctly U1 is installed.

Duplicating updates

Use the "Duplicate" context menu option or press the Ctrl + D key while an update is selected. A copy of the selected update will be created.

Renaming an update

Use the "Rename" context menu item or press the F2 key.

Deleting an update

Use the [ Delete ] toolbar button, the "Delete" context menu item or press the Delete key while an update is selected.
