How to get 1.5b update.ini

[twood]

Is there any means of querying current version information for 1.5b? (akin to https://www.voidtools.com/everything/update.ini for 1.4)

I'm hoping to write my own small update manager script and would like an efficient means of checking for currency

The official 1.5a alpha update information is:

https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.5a-update.ini

The Everything 1.5 beta is currently still using this update information.
This will change to the beta update information below soon.



The official beta update information is:

https://www.voidtools.com/everything/beta-update.ini

This will be updated for Everything 1.5 soon.



The official update information is:

This will update for Everything 1.5 when officially released.

Thank you for the detailed info!

On testing, the alpha update information is not really usable, as the ini file isn't current to the version linked to the site.
E.g. The alpha ini indicates 1.5.0.1409b as the most recent version. This is of course not current (as of posting, current is .1418), but given the minor difference that would be a nonissue except that *only* the most current version of 1.5b is available for download at a given time (so https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.5.0.1418b.x64.zip works but https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.5.0.1409b.x64.zip returns 404).

Is there a suggested reliable method to either get truly current update info, or otherwise link to a working download of the slightly-older version recommended by the ini file? (shy of parsing page HTML to read it off the link anchor, anyways)

While 1.5.0.1418b is the current version, 1.5.0.1409a is the most recent stable version.

I will only change the update.ini files for stable versions.

I don't have an official method to get the latest 'nightly' version.
You would have to parse: https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9787
-or-
Periodically send a HTTP HEAD request for

https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.5.0.1419b.x64.zip

and keep incrementing the version when it's available.
