I don't mind an auto-updater, but I personally prefer the portable zipped file. I like doing things manually.
Well ofcourse there will still be a standalone client. It won't have the new features available right away but will over time.
I'll have to redo some of the feature implementation to not care about directories in the next update after this one so that the standalone one can boast the new features as well, currently 805 will simply disable them if it notices you're not running the installed version. (Sadly I can't make everything happen all at once)
im have no problem with a reinstall
Okay that's one vote for just a re-install.
Quick vote: Who here would like a seamless upgrade from the old Auto Updating client to the new one? Or would you all be okay with simply uninstalling the old client and installing the new one?
We ask this as the latter would make for a faster release, but old clients would no longer receive updates, which defeats the purpose regardless of their version.
Just let us know. This is a big jump in functionality so we wanted to feel the community out on this one.
I suggest not to waste your time on the Auto update, troubleshoot it etc...
let us do some work
Cheers
and vote number 2...
Well I'm leaning towards just requesting users to re-install, after this the updater will be able to patch any portion of itself even if future updates change things around further.
We made sure to make it so that we don't have to repeat this kind of a situation again.
