Amiganews.de The 68k version 3 of the patch system
GPatch has finally been completed and put on
Aminet.
There have been many improvements over the previous version: New seach algorithms, new coding methods and easier execution of the patch. For those who don't know it yet:
GPatch is the only program of its kind with the ability to combine any number of different data in one patch file in order to automatically update different older versions of a program to the newest one.
The readme contains a comparison of different update variants of a real program
(AWeb 3.2 and 3.3 to 3.4).
Just briefly the result: The classic approach with scompare takes 1:28 minutes to create 277258 bytes (compressed),
GCompare 3 on the other hand takes 0:59 minutes to create 163593 bytes.
