Software Update:Tasklist

Software Update "Feature Complete" Task List

Darin Fisher

• Mac Updater UI (spawn callback, quit app loop)
• Win32 registry "healing" after update (necessary when we change product name or bump version from 1.0+ to 1.1)
• Make restarter work properly (have temporary solution checked in)
• Tune Downloader (this may involve giving AUS a way to control bandwidth)
• Deal with conditionally updating optional components: DOM inspector, talkback, etc. (See bug 299021)
• Updater exe should use an icon for taskbar display on Windows.
