I continue to develop the custom updater class for distributing updates to my free plugins. This week, I have done a fair amount of work, bringing it in line with the behaviour of other updates, such as plugin-update-checker.

I now have it showing a full complement of data, as well as most of this being returned by my mini update server, too. You can see an active working example below.

I have also spent time fixing some issues with my deployment scripts and will begin working on a new plugin deploy master repo in the next week or so to use this more and continue to improve my development speed. A full example of what it’s now looking like for a new premium plugin can be seen below

In addition to that, my suite of free plugins spurred on by the changes made to the updater and server have been given icons so they no longer look bleak and unloved in your update window The selection of logos and icons can be seen below.

I continue to polish the way in which I am work and the offering of my plugins.
