Onova.ReleaseNotes

Onova extension that provides support for release notes.

Documentation

This package provides an extension to the UpdateManager. The extension will work only if you use WebPackageResolver. After publishing your application with the manifest, create a text file that has the same name as the version package, except change the file extension to .rn. Example:

    MANIFEST
    DummyApp-1.2.3.zip
    DummyApp-1.2.3.rn
    websetup.exe

Write your desired changes into the release notes file, save and close. In your application, use the following code:

using (var mgr = new UpdateManager(new WebPackageResolver("https://dummy.com/files/MANIFEST"), new ZipPackageExtractor()))
{
  var result = await mgr.CheckForUpdatesAsync();
  var releaseNotes = await mgr.GetReleaseNotes(result.LastVersion);
  ...
}

You can download any version that is available in the manifest.

If you are using my other package, Onova.Publisher, it will make sure to create an empty .rn file for you.
