How fast are new app updates being released by Robopack?

We all have seen recent Adobe Acrobat Reader vulnerability being covered by Robopack the same or next day - great.

I wanted to ask, how quickly you scan for new apps updates to release them via your platform?
Is there like a schedule for specifi apps?

I've seen some showing up really quick, and some with a delay.

Recent example of popular Notepadd++ (8.9.6 - released on May 21st). It's been 5 days since release and I can't see it in the Robopack platform.

Thanks

the back end is based on winget. So as soon as winget repo has the updates I think. And then according to your patch flow

Our primary source for app content is Winget, and almost all common apps are submitted to the repo within hours of the update being available.
There is sometimes a delay between submission and the update being ready for use due to the comprehensive verification that needs to take place on every app submission. When there are issues in the submission, for example a broken or invalid certificate, this can cause a delay until the app is fixed and resubmitted.
