I've started working on freshnaut as a way of checking software for updates with as little missed updates as possible. At the time, I thought regex methods were prone to missing a lot of updates, and while they do, this method is even worse. Yes, diffing websites is hell. The only websites this worked on were things like palemoon, but even that one updated a few times for halloween and other unnecessary things. As soon as you get into generated websites like sourceforge, everything changes every time you fetch it, and even if you try to ignore some ever-changing lines, you'll start noticing every single update they do to their site anyway (they even have some line in the file which tells the page's version). So, I've started doing a different approach (this time in lua), which relies on regex shenanigans, but that's all handled by the implementation, as the satellite writer doesn't have to worry about it too much.
