Is there any way to be notified of browser releases for updates?

[Aetopia]

As the title says, I am wondering if there is anyway to be notified of browser updates via Mercury itself or I will need to keep track of releases via the repository?

There is no update server (and no update check) currently.

However any Github release can be tracked by using the hidden ATOM RSS feeds like so: https://github.com/Alex313031/Mercury/releases.atom The "releases.atom" tracks all posts under the tag "release" (so no pre-releases or other tags). Using auto-updating rss feeds works a lot better than tracking with Github in my opinion.

you can use a script, like my one written for brave portable to update by setting it to as a task in task scheduler in windows.... https://github.com/Chaython/Brave-Portable-Updater just change the owner, repo and 'ends with' to be relevant to this repository

So if you use windows, heres an example of my modified PS1 I haven't tested it though

# Set the owner and repository
$owner = "Alex313031"
$repo = "Mercury"

# Set the URL for the releases
$url = "https://api.github.com/repos/$owner/$repo/releases"

# Get the releases information
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url
$releases = $response

# Find the most recent release with the required asset
$latestRelease = $null
foreach ($release in $releases) {
    foreach ($a in $release.assets) {
        if ($a.name.EndsWith("win64.zip")) {
            $latestRelease = $release
            break
        }
    }
    if ($latestRelease -ne $null) {
        break
    }
}

if ($latestRelease -ne $null) {
    # Find the asset with a name ending in win64.zip
    $asset = $null
    foreach ($a in $latestRelease.assets) {
        if ($a.name.EndsWith("win64.zip")) {
            $asset = $a
            break
        }
    }

    if ($asset -ne $null) {
        # Get the download URL for the asset
        $downloadUrl = $asset.browser_download_url

        # Download the asset
        Write-Host "Downloading asset..."
        $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $downloadUrl

        # Save the asset to a file
        $filename = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($downloadUrl)
        [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($filename, $response.Content)

        # Extract the asset to the specified directory
        $extractDir = ".\"

        # Delete existing data in the specified directory
        if (Test-Path -Path $extractDir) {
            Remove-Item -Path $extractDir -Recurse -Force
        }

        Write-Host "Extracting asset..."
        Expand-Archive -Path $filename -DestinationPath $extractDir

        # Delete the downloaded file
        Remove-Item -Path $filename

        Write-Host "Extraction completed successfully"
    } else {
        Write-Host "Asset not found"
    }
} else {
    Write-Host "No releases found"
}
