Provide events that fire with percentages of the download so that a progress bar can be displayed client side.

Right now only the first page of releases are scanned, which should be 30 or so. If that isn't enough, scan more!

Right now the first file ending with update-any.zip is considered the update file. Add an option to pass in a custom RegEx or maybe even a function to check if any given file is the update file.

This will probably require the use of a different zip library.

Add an option to return changelogs and optionally accumulate them from the currently installed release onwards.

Assuming semver, maybe just updating to a higher patch or minor release should be possible, even if there is a new major release?

There should be the possibility for a server to tell the app which version to update to avoid downloading incompatible updates.

PowerShell is used to unpack ZIP files on Windows, this is not available on all Windows 7 installations.

Figure out a way to run scripts post-update just once.

The node-unzip module would crash for some zip files, so I replaced it. However now all files are loaded completely into memory.

It should be worth considering moving to .tar or another archive format that has a module with proper streaming support.

Instead of 'just' moving files, the behavior of the shell command mv has to be implemented. If the files are on the same device, relink them, otherwise copy and delete.

DUH!

Currently having an app folder and updating to an app.asar or the other way round is going to break without a full update.
