# Sparkle 2.x (Beta)

A major fork to the popular Sparkle update framework that supports sandboxing, custom user interfaces, updating other bundles, and a modern secure architecture.
Secure and reliable software update framework for Cocoa developers.

This fork's current status is beta. I am no longer looking into adding or rewriting major functionality, and would like to finalize and have it be battle tested.
This is the upcoming new version of Sparkle, based on the `ui-separation-and-xpc` branch.
Major new features are support for sandboxing, custom user interfaces, updating other bundles, and a modern secure architecture.

Sparkle 2.x is currently in beta. Some people already use it in production, but some work is still required before it can be released:

1. Documentation for the website needs to be written (see [https://github.com/sparkle-project/sparkle-project.github.io](sparkle-project.github.io))
2. Changes from the master branch need to be merged
3. Bugs and issues have to be fixed

If you can help with any of the above, please submit pull requests!

New issues that are found should be [reported here](https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/issues). Internal design documents can be found in [Documentation](Documentation/). Discussion of this fork can be found in [this issue](https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/issues/363).
