Sparkle future

Hi! I'm maintaining the Sparkle framework, and I'd like to make it leaner, faster and more secure while keeping it useful and simple. I'd like to know which features you use and which ones you need.

How does your Mac app update?

Using Sparkle only

Separate App Store & Sparkle versions

App Store only

Does not have auto-update

Other:

Clear selection

Do you sign your app using Apple's Code Signing?

Yes, using Apple Developer ID or App Store certificate

No, it's a plain unsigned app

Other/not applicable

Clear selection

Do you need Sparkle to support Sandboxing?

Yes, and lack of proper sandboxing support prevents me from using Sparkle

Yes, and I use the existing Sparkle branch with XPC support

It would be nice, but not required

No, I have a regular non-sandboxed app

Clear selection

Do you require support for Mac OS X 10.7?

Yes, my app has to continue supporting older Lion for the foreseeable future

No, I don't care about Sparkle working on older Lion

Clear selection

Which formats of updates do you use with Sparkle?

Please select all formats that you need:

App in a regular archive (.zip or .tar.gz/bz2)

Disk Image (.dmg)

Disk Image (.dmg) protected with a password that the user has to enter

Package Installer (.pkg)

bsdiff (.delta)

If you use update formats other than a regular archive — why?

Do you need the Binary Delta (bsdiff/bspatch) update format in Sparkle?

Yes, the delta files are an important feature I'm relying on

No, but whole-app updates are a problem for me

No, whole-app updates (archive, disk image, installer, etc.) are OK

Other:

Clear selection

Which areas should be the priority?

Choose the ones you care about the most

Smaller library footprint to minimize overhead added to the app bundle

Less prompts, more silent updates

More polished UI

Low bandwidth usage when downloading updates

Better tools for preparing update archives and appcasts

Allow users to opt-in to beta/nightly updates

Other:

What is missing?

Does it lack some feature that are preventing you from using it?

Any other comments and suggestions that you have
