Automatic update prompt

self explanatory, automatic update prompt on launch

Implementing this on my branch while getting used to HNode. My guess is you want to utilize Github releases for this?

[Happyrobot33]

Yeah github releases is what i was planning on using

Update Manager Implementation Plan - Not release ready yet

GitHub Action

• Set bundle version to release tag before build

  • Supports automation and pre-releases.

• Attach windows-installer.zip to release automatically

  • Currently missing; simplifies release management.
  • Yay or nay? I'll leave that one up to you, as you are right now manually adding the binaries to the releases

HNode Application

• Dropdown menu for branch selection

  • Options: Stable or Pre-release.
  • Future-proofing for frequent test builds.

• Version check on GitHub

  • Compares installed version with latest releases:
    • Stable branch → newer stable release.
    • Pre-release branch → newer stable or beta release.
  • Prompt user if any newer version is available
    • Pop-up links directly to the relevant release(s).

To-do

• Unblock main thread
  • Move UnityWebRequest into coroutine
  • only a couple ms, but current implementation is bad practice
• Implement local pre-release detection
  • Currently, it will not properly display the old version as a pre-release
• Cleanup pass
  • Potential further code optimizations

You can check the current state in my fork (VirtuaLabs-online/HNode/tree/Update-System)

This is cool, im not sure about a dropdown selector in client for specific versions however

[vesturo]

could do it via a config file flag / different binary, just added it cause fun x3
