------------------------1. What is this?
------------------------Delta Patcher is yet another frontend to the
xdelta3 decoder/encoder created by Joshua
McDonald. Delta patcher is able to make and
apply xdelta patches. But... why making another frontend?
All the frontends I've seen don't support some
options of the encoder/decoder at all, like
compression level for encoding and checksum
checking for decoding/encoding. Also, they are
all written in .NET (0_0). So, this tool was
designed to be selfcontained (as of now, only
for Windows). It's written in C++ using
wxWidgets for the GUI components and all the
needed libraries are static linked to the EXE.
Last, but not the least, Delta Patcher is
GPL2'd and cross-platform: it runs fine on
Windows and Linux and should compile on MacOS
too.
------------------------2. Features
-------------------------No xdelta.exe is needed. Starting from version 2.0, it has been embedded in the
delta patcher executable;
-More intuitive GUI design;
-Multiple options for patch application/creation:
patch application: disable checksum validation
backup original file
patch creation:
