There is an open PR for Airshipper (Veloren's downloader/server browser/launcher). This manifest circumvents the need for Airshipper and instead downloads the latest weekly release directly.
The benefit of this manifest is that user data is persisted (unlike the aforementioned PR which installs Airshipper to the system and saves user data to "%APPDATA%\airshipper\profiles\default\userdata").
The downside to not using Airshipper is that it's less user-friendly: no server browser, patch notes, game news, or the convenience of release channel switching (there is also a nightly channel), etc. The manifest provides some info via
notesto inform the user of available servers and a link to the game's help resource. Since Veloren is currently pre-alpha, "Weekly" is the most stable version of the game.Note: The manifest uses
urlinstead ofgithubforcheckverbecause weekly builds are being appended to a previous release named "weekly" (I assumegithubwould not detect any newly appended builds): https://github.com/veloren/veloren/releasesCloses #365
