This is a bot to show NVDA add-on updates available at github.com/nvaccess/addon-data… For now it should be considered alpha quality. It looks for updates sent to the views branch, (views/en/latest folder), every 5 minutes, trying to process individual submissions. If multiple submissions are found, this bot will inform about the number of add-ons updated. For single submissions, the add-on display name, version, channel, homepage, download URL and SHA-256 to verify its integrity will be provided. All this may be changed or improved, and, if I detect that something is wrong, will reply to the bot providing more details. This is built using just GitHub Actions and for now removed add-ons will be considered just updates, but I'll address them separately if needed. Noelia cc: @NVAccess @ChrisDuffley
