Update Engine Description

Software updating framework for Mac OS X. Update Engine is a flexible Mac OS X framework that can help developers keep their products up-to-date. It can update nearly any type of software, including Cocoa apps, screen savers, and preference panes. It can even update kernel extensions, regular files, and root-owned applications. Update Engine can even update multiple products just as easily as it can update one.Google ships many different pieces of Mac software ranging from simple Cocoa applications to complicated software systems. We needed a robust software update solution that would be able to update all of our current and future Mac products. Update Engine was created to solve this problem. Here are some key features of "Update Engine": · Can update virtually any type of product (e.g., Cocoa app, pref pane, kernel extension). · Can update non-bundle-based products (e.g., command-line tool, plain file). · Can update many products at once. · Solid framework on which to build. What's New in This Release: · Fixed bug in the creation of DMG mount paths. · The mount paths are using the SHA-1 hash as part of the path component, but SHA-1 hashes often (always?) contain forward slashes, which are illegal in path component names. Now, forward slashes are replaced with underscores. · Fixed bug where running Update Engine as root would fail if you did not run with sudo and you use bash for your .engine_install script.
