Squirrel.Windows Feed

This feed is specifically tailored to be used with the Squirrel.Windows update framework and NuGet packages.

The RELEASES file

This feed is equivalent to the "RELEASES" file generated by packaging tools for Squirrel.Windows.

The "RELEASES" file is a simple plain-text format that lists all available releases with their SHA1 hashes, download URLs and file sizes.

Limitations of the Squirrel.Windows Feed

Due to the way Squirrel.Windows works, only files with URLs ending in "-full.nuget" or "-delta.nuget" are included in this feed.

Targeted delta versions are not supported by Squirrel.Windows. Any delta package must always be for the previous version only.
