It's the responsibility of the developer. They have access to set the
version that the UpToDateCheck would display, and of course have control
over their own downloaded files if they want to include a version file
similar to steam.inf.

Hi all
What methodologies are available for automatically updating non-Valve
games with SteamCMD? Specifically, I am working on Linux here, and I
am trying to produce an automatic update system for the Starbound
server (AppID 211820).
With TF2, CSGO, and other Valve games, I can query the WebAPI to find
out what the remote version is, and I have the local version in the
game's steam.inf file. This makes it very easy to determine if my
locally installed version needs to be updated via SteamCMD.
However, games which have a dedicated server, like Starbound, don't
have an UpToDateCheck WebAPI interface, and there is nothing in the
distribution files which indicate the local version.
Is it the responsibility of Steam customers (Starbound devs in this
case) to do something to enable the UpToDateCheck WebAPI interface for
their game, or is this a Valve-only feature?
Any advice?
