Release notes
PTZ Shot Director 1.5.3
Desktop updating became a real end-user feature in this release, with manifest-driven checks, installer downloads, and clearer update status inside the app.
Highlights
- Added in-app update checking against the published website manifest.
- Added installer download, hash verification, and launch support for published updates.
- Added update settings for startup checks, channel selection, and manifest base URL.
- Improved the update UX with clearer prompts when an update is available or when the app is already current.
Operational impact
- New releases can now be distributed through the website without asking users to manually hunt for installers.
- Update status is visible in the app instead of being silent or ambiguous.
