logo.png(modified) from https://www.pngrepo.com/

icon.ico is converted from the logo.png at https://cloudconvert.com/png-to-ico with 48x48 dimension

tested on Autohotkey 2.0-beta.3

how it works

When publish release on Github, upload a additional version.txt file.

Then the script would download the file and check if there is newer version. If there is, then download it.

Setup

update.ahk

• the update_log would be shown once through the msgbox after success update

meta.ahk

• set version
• set ahkFilename to your script name, it would compile %ahkFilename%.ahk to %binaryFilename%.exe
• set downloadUrl to your github release URL
• set your GitHub id(GitHubID) and Repo name (repoName)

tray.ahk

• setup your tray icon behavior here.

icon.ico

• put your app icon here.

notice

version is compared by (\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)

Usage

2. Upload the two files in the dist directory to your release.
