/*!
Example updating an executable to the latest version described by a static JSON release manifest.

`cargo run --example manifest --features "manifest archive-tar compression-tar-gz"`

Point `manifest_url` at a JSON document served over HTTP(S) that lists your releases and their
assets (the release artifacts live alongside it on the same static host, or at absolute URLs). No
server-side API is needed — regenerate the manifest at release time. See the
`self_update::backends::manifest` module docs for the schema.
