GRID Versions

This repository contains version metadata for GRID auto-updates.

Purpose

The GRID Builder automatically updates this repository with:

• Version information for all releases
• Update manifests for each platform/architecture
• Release metadata (checksums, download URLs, release notes)

How It Works

1. GRID Builder creates a new release
2. Builder uploads binaries to binaries repository
3. Builder updates version metadata in this repository
4. GRID clients check this repository for updates
5. Clients download updates from URLs in metadata
