0.8.19 - say what the update costs before it is agreed to - #33
Merged
Conversation
The button now reads "Update to 0.8.19 · 87 MB". Ninety megabytes is worth knowing before agreeing to it rather than after; on a metered connection it is somebody's actual money, and the size was already in the release feed and already being thrown away. On the button rather than in the detail line underneath, because it is part of what is being agreed to rather than a note about it. A release that reports no size leaves it off rather than guessing. This release exists partly to be updated into. The self-updater shipped in 0.8.18 and its whole path - fetch, verify against GitHub's digest, rename the running file aside, put the new one in place, restart - cannot be exercised without a published build and a newer published build to reach for. This is the newer one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
