Idea #10928: Update manager downloads significant codes rather than the whole program

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #13: Delta (patch based) updates.
Written by sayakb the 9 Jul 08 at 12:41. Related project: Update manager. Status: New
Rationale
Suppose OpenOffice has an update. So only small portions of the updated code will be downloaded rather than downloading the whole OpenOffice. Imagine a small patch being applied to a large program. In that way, the size of the update would drastically reduce.
