Dispatcher creates a fully functional Updater executable for you to include with your software. All you need is a website (HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP), and your users will be kept up to date. Dispatcher automatically generates binary patch data and uploads it to your website(s) whenever you release a new version. When the Updater is run on a user's PC, your software will automatically be patched to its latest version! The Updater can be run in a variety of ways, including to only pop-up when an update is available. Features: -Create Updaters and Installers for your software -Choose Patch Mode (Transfers only the binary difference between files) or Sync Mode (Transfers compressed individual changed files) -Release Updates via any standard Website (HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP) -Supports downloading updates from multiple mirror Websites, if desired -Works with Free Webhosts, thanks to File Extension Masking -All data needed for the Updater to update your software is automatically generated and uploaded to your website for you -Updater can be configured to only pop-up when there is an update available, to be run before your software, or to be manually run through your software -Save bandwidth!
