I’ve just released the latest build of Z-Updater, the first released update to the code in 786 days. This build starts off small by completely replacing the interface with a much cleaner and simplistic design. The original design was very bulky, so now its gone! Also, the updater is now designed to be much less obtrusive when launching an application. If no update is available, you no longer will have to hit “Okay, cool, just start my program.” The only time you and your users will realizing you’re running an updater is when you actually release an update.
The updater still downloads updates in small increments, (Patch 1, Patch 2, Patch 3) but as long as people stay up-to-date with the latest patches here and there, it’ll save them time in the long run and you bandwidth. Compared to my other, “GML Patch” you won’t have to re-release a gigantic patch file just to change the readme.
Lastly, this build fixes the issue with not having an “Updates” folder. One of my mistakes with the last version was not including a note saying “You MUST have an updates folder.” The program now makes the folder itself if you don’t have it. Clever. 
Well, if you’re interested, stroll on over to SourceForge and give it a download! Enjoy.
