Visual Patch 1.0 Makes Full-History Software Patches

Indigo Rose Corporation has released Visual Patch 1.0, a solution for creating secure full-history software update patches. Designed for use on all 32-bit Windows platforms, Visual Patch can make compact, self-installing patch files that can be distributed in any format. Visual Patch has a point-and-click integrated development environment that visually indicates the differences among product releases, and automatically builds only those changes into the patch. Users must have an eligible previous version of an application installed in order to make use of a patch, thus providing developers with more secure software. Features of Visual Patch include full-history patching to bring all in-field versions up to date using a single self-extracting executable, a familiar "wizard" style runtime interface, customizable dialogs, use of key files and CRC-32 checks to ensure accuracy, international language support, system editors including registry and shortcut icons, conditions, variables and more. Visual Patch 1.0 is priced at $495 for a single developer license.
