Sparkle

Any reason to keep previous releases in appcast

Asked by Andreas Järliden

Is there a reason to keep the items for previous releases in the appcast, or is it enough to simply have a single item for the latest release?

Sparkle doesn't need the previous releases; some users like to
subscribe via RSS or other clients, and iUseThis scrapes data through
your appcast (it might skip a release if you remove old ones). But
those aren't very good reasons; it should be fine.
