More...

2.3.0 #

  • Added optional release notes support for update UIs through releaseNotesUrl, releaseNotesLoader, releaseNotesState, and loadReleaseNotes().
  • Added public release notes models that keep the simple { "data": [{ "type", "message" }] } format supported while allowing richer sections, summaries, and item metadata.
  • Added a built-in Material release notes bottom sheet and wired the ready-made update card to show a release notes action when notes are available.
  • Added example custom release notes UIs for inline panels, side sheets, and changelog pages.
  • Fixed the release notes bottom sheet so its first load starts after the route has built, avoiding build-time listener notifications.

2.2.0 #

  • Added opt-in update diagnostics sinks with redacted log formatting for app-owned lifecycle logs.
  • Added app-owned install recovery markers and post-relaunch failure reports for native install handoff.
  • Added explicit native helper diagnostics log paths for macOS, Windows, and Linux helper events.
  • Added Windows and Linux CI smoke diagnostics artifacts for failed or explicitly requested diagnostics runs.
  • Documented the native helper diagnostics and recovery support flow in the README and product docs.

2.1.4 #

  • Added release publish --mandatory so generated app-archive.json items can mark updates as mandatory while keeping the default optional.
  • Fixed Windows staged updates to refresh the uninstall display version metadata after installation.

2.1.3 #

  • Fixed Windows release publish builds so the CLI invokes flutter build windows --release through shell-aware process resolution.

2.1.2 #

  • Fixed notarized macOS release publish so nested Flutter frameworks are signed before the outer .app, then verified through notary, stapler, and Gatekeeper before packaging.
  • Added user-facing release publish smoke coverage for Windows, Linux, and opt-in notarized macOS CI so release smoke tests exercise the same publish command users run.

2.1.1 #

  • Hardened update selection so app-archive.json entries must match the downloaded release.json version, build number, platform, and channel.
  • Hardened release validate to reject hosted descriptor identity mismatches before accepting a published update.
  • Rejected top-level staged macOS .app symlinks and rechecked the staged app inside the native install helper before replacement.
  • Pruned Windows and Linux whole-directory targets before copying the staged update, preventing stale files from surviving replacement.

2.1.0 #

  • Added the high-level dart run desktop_updater:release publish flow for building, packaging, manifest generation, manual upload packages, provider upload, and hosted validation.
  • Added dart run desktop_updater:release validate to simulate an older installed version, select an update, fetch release.json, download the artifact, and verify length and SHA-256.
  • Added release publish upload providers for manual, S3-compatible storage, SFTP, FTP, and custom commands.
  • Added ready-made update UI surfaces, manual update check result helpers, and screenshots for the stock card, sliver, dialog, and custom state-driven UI.
  • Added explicit macOS notarization opt-in for release publish --platform macos --notarize and macos.notarize: true.
  • Added publishing documentation for minimum setup, provider config, macOS production trust, and Windows/Linux production release options.

2.0.1 #

  • Added dart run desktop_updater:migrate to preview and apply safe 1.x to 2.0 migration edits, plus manual findings for typed state, old CLI commands, low-level APIs, and platform publishing work.
  • Documented the automated migration flow in the README and 1.x to 2.0 migration guide.

2.0.0 #

  • Promoted the zip-first 2.0 release contract: app-archive.json points to release.json, and release.json points to one verified zip artifact.
  • Added shared Dart update checks, artifact verification, safe staging, typed update state, and zip-first package/verify CLI entrypoints.
  • Added native install scheduling for macOS whole-app replacement, Windows locked-file replacement, and Linux directory replacement with rollback-focused smoke coverage.
  • Added macOS hosted update smoke hooks, explicit unsigned macOS release-mechanics opt-out, and documentation separating release mechanics from production-trusted publisher gates.
  • Added Windows and Linux Release CI gates for build, native tests, integration tests, and update smoke.
  • Made 2.0 buildNumber metadata optional in release indexes, release descriptors, and the zip-first package CLI.

2.0.0-dev.5 #

  • Fixed version comparison so archive build metadata is not treated as newer when the installed app does not expose a build number.
  • Added explicit allowUnsignedMacOSUpdates opt-out for owners who need unsigned macOS Release update mechanics while keeping signed, notarized, stapled updates as the default production-trusted path.
  • Made 2.0 buildNumber metadata optional in release indexes, release descriptors, and the zip-first package CLI.

2.0.0-dev.4 #

  • Added skipInitialVersionCheck to DesktopUpdaterController so apps can initialize the controller without immediately checking for updates.
  • Kept skipCheckVersion as a deprecated alias for the same behavior.

2.0.0-dev.3 #

  • Added support for Flutter versions without build metadata in update checks and release tooling.
  • Kept build-number based ordering for existing archives while allowing semantic version fallback when shortVersion is omitted.
  • Fixed Windows ProductVersion parsing so versions like 1.2.3 no longer throw, while malformed values like 1.2.3+ still fail.

2.0.0-dev.2 #

  • Added macOS release manifests, content-addressed gzip payloads, and ditto full ZIP fallback archives for .app bundles.
  • Added macOS staged app verification for SHA-256 hashes, file modes, symlinks, unexpected files, bundle identifiers, Team IDs, code signatures, Gatekeeper, and stapler validation.
  • Changed macOS releases to publish artifact directories instead of raw .app trees or ZIP-only updates.
  • Reworked the update pipeline around verified temporary staging directories.
  • Added native macOS and Windows install helpers that wait for the app to exit before replacing files.
  • Added hash/length verification for downloaded files and normalized archive paths for Windows-hosted files.
  • Added support for removing files that no longer exist in the target version.
