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:
bq. "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.
