Introducing Safe Update

The latest new product to hit the CapeSoft shelves is Safe Update. Safe Update allows you to add secure auto-updating to your application with little or no coding. This is achieved by using a digital certificate to sign your update file. Version tracking is done by a separate XML file that is also signed.

Safe Update can perform automatic generation of the XML file, signing, uploading, downloading and signature verification as well as running your new setup file. The template is highly configurable to suit a wide variety of applications. You can use Safe Update to process any kind of file you want, not just setup files.

Additionally, we have made an uploader utility available that will sign and upload your files automatically.

CapeSoft xFiles Escapes Captivity

CapeSoft xFiles is a collection of classes for hand-coders.

It provides the following functionality:
  • Reading and writing XML files directly to and from Groups and Queues.
  • Reading and Writing binary (and text) files to and from disk.
We wrote xFiles a number of years ago, and it provided fast XML functionality, which we used in a number of our products (CapeSoft Email Server & CapeSoft Mailer). It worked so well, that we decided others would benefit from using it too.

Note: xFiles is for hand coders. This means you will need to call the xFiles methods within your code, for example self.Init(), self.Load() and self.Save(). This accessory is not purely template driven and requires hand-coding to operate.

One of the best things about xFiles is that is it really, really fast. This means that it outperforms other XML toolkits (for example the Microsoft SAX toolkit).

Please note: xFiles is not an generic XML parser. At the moment it does read all XML files that it creates, but it won't read just any XML file.

Spring Clean Price: $31

  What's that? You want more?
  Ok - with every sale over the next 3 DAYS we'll toss in a PDF electronic invoice! Absolutely FREE!
