Updates

Two kinds: your addons, from ESOUI, and MacMinion itself, from GitHub.

Addon updates

• Update on a card or row updates one addon. Update All (⌘U) updates every addon that has one, a few at a time.
• Each download is checked against ESOUI's MD5 checksum before anything changes. If any step fails, the old folders are put back.
• Check for Updates (⌘R) downloads the catalog again. MacMinion also checks on its own, once a day by default.
• Ignore Updates (in an addon's menu) keeps an addon at its version; Update All skips it.
• The menu bar item shows the number of updates and offers Update All.

Settings

In Settings > Updates: how often to check, whether to install updates automatically, how many downloads run at once, and a notification when updates are ready.

Updating MacMinion

MacMinion updates itself with Sparkle. It checks once a day, and MacMinion > Check for MacMinion Updates… checks now.

• Each release is a zip on GitHub Releases, listed in an update feed at solaegis.github.io/mac-minion/appcast.xml.
• Every update is signed with an EdDSA key. MacMinion has the public key built in and installs an update only when its signature matches. Apple notarization isn't part of this; the signature is what makes an update trustworthy.
• Releases are signed with the same certificate every time, so macOS keeps your permissions (such as Documents access) across updates.
• Settings > Updates > MacMinion shows your version and lets you turn automatic checks and automatic installs on or off.
