CCNetConfig

The ability to allow 3rd party plugins to check for updates has been added. This is not automatic, it has to be done for each plugin on the new Plugins tab of the Options dialog. If an assembly defines the UpdateFeedAttribute, then a plugin is able to check for updates. The update feed attribute is passed a Url to an RssFeed. This feed should define the http://ccnetconfig.org/2007/updates namespace (Shema).

Each item in the rss feed can define Update Information. Below is an example of an UpdateInfo section.

      <update:UpdateInfo UpdatedDate="2008-01-20T22:03:15.68400-06:00" Version="1.0.918.12481" Mode="Stable">
