Software Update:Tasklist

Software Update "Feature Complete" Task List

Darin Fisher

  • Mac Updater UI (spawn callback, quit app loop) [complete]
  • Win32 registry "healing" after update (necessary when we change product name or bump version from 1.0+ to 1.1)
  • Make restarter work properly (have patch; need to test)
  • Tune Downloader (this may involve giving AUS a way to control bandwidth)

Ben Goodger

  • major memory leak on balsa
  • update history list UI
  • Finish notification page (incompatible extensions)
  • Edge case UI - transfer failure, etc.
  • Administration locking
  • Fix downloading page to show secs remaining, update within first few seconds
  • Fix pause/resume UI updating
  • user accepts license once then download begins, app quits, user must accept license again on next check
  • update service must clean out failed or applied updates!
  • ensure randomness of update checking / timer firing
  • update window should be dependent

ETA - ~5 working days
