This release improves generate_appcast by automatically removing updates that are no longer needed in the generated appcast, and moving old update files to old_updates/ in the archives directory. New delta update attributes are also added to let Sparkle know when to skip downloading delta updates if the application has been stripped.

macOS 10.13 or later is now required (due to Xcode 14 dropping support for deploying to older OS versions).

If you're not generating appcasts automatically, remember to add <sparkle:minimumSystemVersion>10.13</sparkle:minimumSystemVersion> element to <item>s in your appcast.

Discussion for Sparkle 2.3.
