Sorry, but why? This is just the 'lib'. Anyway, for lube-demo I just use github, works.. (was going to say great, but it could be easier, assembla is better).

I've ported Updater to work with LÖVE 0.6, and made various other changes that I think are an improvement.
However, I have not tested this with a real game, so I'm not sure if this version will work.
These are some of the changes I've made:
- Now produces and uses significantly less clutter files: only a .version that stores the current version as a string.
- Automanaged is now the default, the example main.lua included show how to avoid it: call Updater.selfcheck() in love.load().
- Fixed the 2.0 bug that automanaged games don't download the initial copy.
- This version doesn't download files that have been removed later on.
- Many improvements "under the hood".
Also, note that there is no love.system anymore, so lovers have to soft-restart the game themselves (or notify the player to restart the game)

In the mean time, I have updated my port:
Updater.love- Yay, new version
- (2.43 KiB) Downloaded 115 times
Highlights:
- Converted main table name to lowercase (Updater->updater), to conform to the convention used by Lua in general, and LÖVE in particular.
- Fixed updater.selfcheck() and everything it calls.
- Improved updater.dialog.
- Made the example act like an update was found.
- Files removed in an intermediate version and recreated in a later version are no longer removed after downloading them.

Whoops.
This is what I get for not testing this with a server.
