Release Notes?

davej opened this issue · comments

Just wondering if showing the release notes when prompting the user to restart is on the roadmap? Release notes would be taken from the github release.

Something like this:

38202830-0a352da6-3695-11e8-9e71-0b24c152bf9e

Electron's autoUpdater API already supports this: https://electronjs.org/docs/api/auto-updater#event-update-downloaded -- though there is currently a lack of clarity in the docs about what platforms support it. Trying to get to the bottom of it here: electron/electron#12618

The app returns release notes correctly: https://update.electronjs.org/zeit/hyper/darwin/0.0.0

My misunderstanding, I thought that update.electron.js also included the UI (like in #16 (comment)). Closing this issue.

Still a good idea, though! Please open an issue on https://github.com/electron/update-electron-app, the companion module for this service.
