In version 4 any type of pre-release descriptor, as well as build metadata, will be available. It will fulfill the complete semantic versioning specification and have an abstract version system.

### Specifying an `applicationExecutablePath`

Under some circumstances the UpdateManager is not able to obtain the correct executable path. While the update might work during a debug build, an update with an actual release build will lead to errors while unpacking and copying the files into your application path.
To help nUpdate to find the correct program path the UpdateManager accepts `applicationExectuablePath` as a parameter. With recent .NET versions an executable path is provided by `AppContext.BaseDirectory`. Please note that the UpdateManager needs also the name of your application, so as an example the parameter could be `applicationExecutablePath: AppContext.BaseDirectory + "MyApp.exe"`.
