Interestingly enough, _none_ of the applications I have installed uses the latest Sparkle version and most use versions as old as 1.5 or 1.6. Many do not use https. This will be painfully long to fix.
- masklinn 11y agoI do have adium on the latest release (1.13.1), but aside from that I see the same thing, here's a summary of the Sparkle CFBundleShortVersionString on my system (dates added by myself): 9 1.5 Beta 2 1.5 Beta 5 12 1.5 Beta 6 1 1.5 1 1.6 3 1.8.0 1 1.9.0 2 1.10.0 1 1.12.0 1 1.13.1 However note that Sparkle 1.5 isn't even compatible with El Cap, I expect a number of these are in software I haven't launched in years and have just been carrying from migration to migration, the up-to-date software may be using an up-to-date sparkle. Or not. Probably not though, considering Acorn 5.2.1 (released in December 2015, the same day as Sparkle 1.12.0) uses Sparkle 1.9.0 (released in January 2015)
- anon1385 11y agoSparkle dropped support for OS X 10.6 at some point, so that's probably a reason for some apps continuing to use older versions.
- masklinn 11y agoThat's a good point, but 10.6 support was dropped in 1.7.0 so technically the 1.5s should be able to run 1.6.1. Also I undercounted the number of old versions, turns out ancient sparkles didn't have a CFBundleShortVersionString in their plist and I also have a bunch of Sparkle 1.0 and 1.1 lying around.
