W3 Mod Workbench 1.9.0
The app now updates itself.
Highlights
- Check for updates (under the ⓘ button, or Settings > General > Updates): asks GitHub for the latest release and shows what's new in it.
- Download and install: downloads the new version, checks it against the checksum GitHub lists, and puts it in place of the one you're running. Restart now starts it.
- Carry on where you were: after the restart, the new version opens again your project and its scripts, the bundles and folders in the file list, the files in tabs, the viewers and editors open on a file, and the Tools windows.
- Nothing lost: it won't update while anything has changes that aren't saved or work still running (scripts, XML, JSON, strings, materials, item edits, a build, an extraction). It lists them so you can save or close them first.
- Check when the app starts (off until you turn it on): at most once a day, and an Update to … button shows when there's a newer version. Skip this version stops it pointing one out.
- If the app's folder can't be written to (such as under Program Files), it downloads the zip for you to unpack instead.
Coming from 1.8.0? This release is the first with the updater, so to get it from 1.8.0, download the zip below and unpack it over your copy as usual. From here on, the app can update itself.
Privacy
- Checking for updates asks GitHub for the latest release, and only when you ask, or at start-up if you turn that on. Nothing about you is sent. See PRIVACY.md.
