A cross platform app updater tool for Qt

As a base started with fervor. Lots will change soon. This is not just fork but inspired project instead.

Full blown app updater tool for atleast 3 platforms i.e. Win, Mac and Linux

Let's see what I can do. Stay tuned. :)

A separate updater app would be best instead of adding in app itself.

• Updater : Separate executable.
• Updater's handler : Connecting app and updater. Launch updater whenever required.

• No lock on files (Dlls and including main exe)
• Easier to handle
• Saves compile time
• My personal choice :)

• To update updater itself requires same problem.

• Using two apps we can solve it easily like one can replace other in update process without much problem.
