Indigo Rose Software announces the immediate availability of TrueUpdate 3.9, a fully customizable “Check for Update” system Windows developers can integrate into their software programs. Organizations of any size can provide software updates to their clients without relying on third party hosting services. The latest version includes support for operating system changes and the latest hardware code signing security protocols.
TrueUpdate is a standalone executable incorporated directly into software applications. When the application is installed, it works to automatically determine whether a program is up-to-date with the latest software and patches. The tool then downloads and applies the update using standard Internet or LAN protocols. By automating the process, TrueUpdate eliminates reliance on end-users to proactively check for and install updates. This lessens the likelihood of legacy support issues, and developers can push out new releases whenever necessary.
The latest release of TrueUpdate adds support for Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 while maintaining compatibility with legacy systems going back to Windows 95. Hardware token code signing for both OV and EV certificates, a critical new security requirement, is also fully supported. Software products without this feature display undesirable security warnings to the end-user. TrueUpdate 3.9 fully integrates the new protocols right into the build process, keeping clients confident in the integrity of the products they’re using.
“The code signing procedure has become a non-negotiable in software deployment,” says Indigo Rose Software President Colin Adams. “TrueUpdate makes it easy for developers to comply and eliminates ‘danger’ warnings from popping up for their users.”
TrueUpdate 3.9 retains its easy-to-use Lua scripting language with 250+ high-level functions allowing developers to tailor the updater to their requirements. A project wizard is available to assist with the process, helping coders identify file versions, configure patch download locations and build a customized TrueUpdate client. The user interface itself is also fully customizable featuring a library of over twenty different screens and a complete graphical skinning system.
TrueUpdate 3.9 sells for $395 (US$) per developer or $995 for the Five Developer Team Pack. It can be purchased through all major software development tools resellers, or directly from Indigo Rose Software at https://www.indigorose.com. A free 30-day trial download is available from the company’s website.
