Windows Update Feed

QSfera Desktop uses the built-in Windows updater from src/gui/updater. The updater reads APPLICATION_UPDATE_URL, appends query parameters such as version, platform=win32, and msi=true, and expects an XML document with root element QSfera.

Production feed URL:

https://qsfera.kusoft.xyz/desktop/updates/stable.xml

The no-update feed is valid when no signed Windows MSI is available yet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<QSfera>
  <version></version>
  <versionstring></versionstring>
  <web>https://qsfera.kusoft.xyz/</web>
  <downloadurl></downloadurl>
</QSfera>

To advertise a signed MSI update, publish the MSI over HTTPS and replace the feed with a concrete version:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<QSfera>
  <version>1.3.7</version>
  <versionstring>1.3.7</versionstring>
  <web>https://qsfera.kusoft.xyz/</web>
  <downloadurl>https://qsfera.kusoft.xyz/desktop/downloads/QSfera_Desktop-1.3.7-x64.msi</downloadurl>
</QSfera>

Validate the live feed before a Windows production release:

./scripts/validate-desktop-update-feed.ps1 -Url "https://qsfera.kusoft.xyz/desktop/updates/stable.xml"
./scripts/validate-production-release.ps1 -VerifyUpdateFeed

For a stable signed tag release, validate-production-release.ps1 -RequireSigning also verifies this live feed.
