Added a changelog generation at end of process :)

Renamed REPO to CHANNEL (more consistent)

Fixed a bug when the download link is not hosted directly on the sublime text's website

Isn't SublimeText auto updating? My dev build on OS X does, I recall the beta builds did that too.

It does not on my version (Linux, unlicensed) I have a _notification_ telling me there is an update available, and it brings me to the download page, but that's all :( It seems to be different, either for licensed users or Mac OS X users, I'm not sure yet.

I'm not licensed so I guess it is for OS X.
