For creation, we will disallow creating delta updates if a custom resource fork icon data is found in either the old or app bundles.
For applying, we will just ignore the icon data when performing hash verification and continue applying the patch.
The update code uses the compareFiles function to determine the sort order of file names in a directory, which is then compared with a list of files in the Sparkle update info. If the list of files of a directory from Sparkle's update is different than what is on disk, the Sparkle abandons the update and does a full download. This bug would prevent Sparkle from updating properly when the file lists are calculated on an English language system, but then checked on a destination Japanese system.
The fix is to use strcoll_l(), which is locale-independent, when comparing file names for sorting. This will ignore any locale changes the host application has made that could potentially affect Sparkle's sort order.
* Only track 0755 permissions for symbolic links
Also warn the user when encountering symbolic links that have a non-standard permission mode.
* Warn users when bad or irregular permissions are encountered
This new format introduces:
* A new container format which stores metadata in a way that is more efficient for compression, decompression, and size. Creation time can be 2x faster, apply time can be a few seconds faster, size savings can be 500 KB - couple of MB due to metadata alone.
* An array of supported compression formats including lzma, bzip2, zlib and more. We now default to lzma which is as competitive as bzip2 (which we were using in version 2 format) in applying/creation times, but can save several MB on size.
* Tracking of files from an old app being replicated in different locations in the new app. This can track unchanged files being renamed and can result in significant savings if the files are large.
Version 2 format is still the default. To use version 3, pass --version=3 to BinaryDelta when creating a patch. We will switch the default to version 3 later. generate_appcast support is upcoming.
