Sparkle (http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/ http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/ ) seems to be becoming a de-facto standard on OSX, and I'd say it does a pretty good job when judged against the points in the article.
I think the update-at-shutdown isn't such a great idea, most programs don't need the computer to be restarted after they update.
- potatolicious 17y agoSparkle is just awesome - and I really wish Apple had the guts to roll this sort of thing (if not simply roll Sparkle in) as a standard recommendation for all apps. The problem isn't so much that apps are rolling their own updaters, it's the fact that these updaters are often extremely heavy-weight but aren't justifiably so.
