Hi all,

Add-on Updater 21.07 is now available. This is a significant update that rewrites how add-on update information is retrieved.

Changelog:

  • On Windows 10 and later, a toast notification will be shown when add-on updates are available. Note that you cannot click this notification - you must open NvDA menu/Tools/Check for add-on updates to review updates.
  • When legacy add-ons dialog is shown at startup, you can now review legacy add-ons and reasons just like add-on updates.
  • Improved add-on update check internals, including use of add-on metadata collection provided by the community to validate add-on compatibility. Among other things, this eliminates add-on releases for adding update checks for new add-ons.

Add-on metadata collection (JSON format) is work of Joseph Lee (I) and Luke Davis (@XLTechie).

Enjoy.
