<p>Treylav: Added screenshot</p> <hr /> <div>{{PluginCard/en<br /> | name=Plugin Updater<br /> | authors={{while|tpl=Developer|Mataes|George Hazan}}<br /> | screenshot=Plugin_updater.png‎<br /> | dll=PluginUpdater.dll<br /> }}{{Languages}}<br /> : ''This plugin should not be confused with {{Plugin|IM Updater}} plugin for '''Miranda IM'''''.<br /> Plugin updater for Miranda NG. It compares hashes of the installed plugins with those on the server and if they differ, downloads archived updates and replaces the local copy.<br /> <br /> == Tips and Tricks ==<br /> # It should be noted that PluginUpdater doesn't check plugins' versions nor their compilation dates. So if you compile a plugin by yourself (or somebody does and shares it with you), PluginUpdater will still download its &quot;older&quot; version from the server. This was done on purpose to avoid problems with plugins from doubtful sources.<br /> # Special algorithm for calculating plugins' hashes ignores information about DLL compilation time (which is also written to DLL). Thus a plugin compiled from the same source code with the same compiler but at different time will have the same hash for PluginUpdater but different one for ordinary MD5 calculation tools.<br /> # By default PluginUpdater is set to check updates for the [[Stable version]] of Miranda. So it is likely to rollback your latest [[Development version]] of Miranda to stable one. This is '''not a bug''', navigate to Options… → Services → Plugin Updater and choose the option you prefer.<br /> # If you distribute '''your own''' Miranda Pack, you can select &quot;Custom version&quot; option and set your URL for PluginUpdater to download updates from. In this case you become responsible for keeping your repository of plugins up-to-date.<br /> # If you set the key of &lt;tt&gt;BYTE&lt;/tt&gt; type {{DBKey|PluginUpdater|RestartCurrentProfile|0}}, the plugin will restart Miranda to [[Profile manager]] ({{Rev|3346|revision 3346}}). PluginUpdater restarts Miranda to current profile by default.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Utils]]<br /> [[Category:Services]]</div>
