Applicability of Update Packages

When creating updates (see Creating an update), JetPackII detects which of the application files are new or changed and enables you to include them in the package. Update packages ideally suit the following purposes:

• making minor changes to the client installations of your software, such as installing add-ons or fixes;

So, if you simply add a few files, or recompile your application’s binaries from a newer version of the source code, update packages will work fine.

Note: if you intend to create an update comprising a new version of your application binaries, make sure that both original and new versions are built using the same developing system.
