Lottie4J: Java(FX) library to load and play LottieFiles animations

Last week, I published the first release of Lottie4J, an open-source Java library for rendering Lottie animations in JavaFX. And today, the new version 1.1.0 was already released. And it's a big one!

A lot happened in that one week. A logo was designed for the project, a Lottie animation was created for that logo (naturally!), and, most importantly, a significant number of rendering improvements landed after testing a much wider range of animation files. That's the reason for the version bump from `1.0.0` to `1.1.0`: there are some API changes that come with it.

Windows Desktop application - how to handle updates?
Help

I'm developing a desktop JavaFX app (~25k lines of code, Java21, Spring Boot).
I'm using jlink, jpackage and WiX tools to create a Windows installer. The app repo is on GitHub.
Now I would like to add feature for fetching the newer versions. But I don't want to force my users to manually uninstall and download a newer .msi file.
I think it should be possible to fetch only the .jar file with the newer release - does anyone know an existing example of such approach?
