Is there any way to get release notes after the update. I want to show release notes when the updated version is installed and run for the first time. Some notification like 'The application is updated and we have the following new features'

LBRY would also love this feature - but should it be part of the auto update process or implemented outside of electron-updater/builder?

I think auto-updater would be a better place to do that. Because there is no way of knowing that it is a first run after update.

Unless we manually save it and then remove it after display.

Now we have ability to install update on first launch, not on quit (soon will be for macOS).

Cached installer stored in path.join(this.app.getPath("userData"), "__update__") and stored after install since installer doesn't remove itself (except AppImage, but anyway cache dir not cleared). The whole cache dir is removed on next update check.

So, easy solution — electron-updater will simply save release data as file under autoUpdater.downloadedUpdateHelper.cacheDir and your responsibility to read this file before update check.

When it will be implemented. Depends on donation/PR and moon phase.

Any news on this? Is there any way to get release notes after update?

Any updates on how to do this? Or is manually saving the optimal way to go about it?
