Is this project dead?

[kirsan31]

All activities are ~2 years old :-( May be some actual fork is exists?

[synhershko]

It is. Still being widely used and getting some contributions, but I'm not maintaining it anymore.

I was the last active maintainer of this project.

We were using NAppUpdate for our .NET based desktop application which worked fine, but after moving from .NET to Electron where the updater uses Squirrel under the hood. So that made me lose interest in maintaining this project.

It probably still works fine, but with no maintenance it is quite risky to use it for new projects.

My recommendation is to either use Squirrel or use the Microsoft Store as distribution channel for updates in Windows apps.

BTW, thanks @robinwassen for that :) It was a good ride while it lasted

I will put a word out in case someone wants to take this project and modernize it a bit - the foundations are solid and it should actually be easy to get this minimal approach working also for modern systems.

I rebuilt solution with .net 6 support: github repo

Cause .net 6 build with .exe and .dll files i merged projects in one, atm support only window but feel free to improve it

FYI for anyone discovering this and looking to take the recommendation above to use Squirrel - it too is no longer being maintained unfortunately, but a community is forming around a fork of Squirrel I maintain, here.
