Thanks for this app, it's very useful and nice :) I have no experience with what Sparkle handles exactly, but I can think of the following options to limit the appcast.xml size:

@DaVince thanks for the suggestions! All 3 of them have the downside that we have to implement that, and that involves either risky regexps, or involving a markdown or xml parser then writing transformation code. The solution I have in mind for now, that would be very easy to implement is to use Sparkle <sparkle:releaseNotesLink>https://lwouis.github.io/alt-tab-macos/CHANGELOG</sparkle:releaseNotesLink> To have a clean HTML page though, I can't just link to the CHANGELOG.md from github, otherwise there is github framing around. I'm waiting on #211 to be completed, and then I will link to the CHANGELOG from there, which will be fullscreen and nice. I already experimented with that and the results are very nice. |
I've released the new website, and also a new page which is displayed by Sparkle on update. I find this new UX very nice and clear. The only missing piece would be localization, but that's a huge undertaking. We could imagine providing google translate links though. However I'm not sure that would be an actual improvement, if the translation is worse than showing english for some users who understand a bit of english. Update: I actually tried en->fr, and it's impressively good. It may be an improvement to do! |
I thought it was done, but there is a very complex issue in Sparkle which makes it so the translation of release notes is not working currently. I opened a PR to Sparkle. Hopefully they merge it and release a new version. I tried to fork my own but I don't understand how they package Sparkle. It's different from a simple pod like Shortcut Recorder which I forked in the past. |
This is now done, together with localized released notes thanks to google translate, for users not using English 👍 |
There is a bug currently in Sparkle where it shows only releases notes for the latest release, instead of the release notes of all releases between current and latest.
A workaround would be to display the full changelog on all releases. I think it's better than the current state. See the discussion in the link above for more details
