I tried to update from 1.1.104 for 1.1.106 but got the message
Update failed: Checking update packages failed: File D:/Factorio/Factorio normal/data/changelog-switch.txt has unexpected content
Restarting the game doesn't change this.
I added the logs of both game sessions and the mentioned file.

The file is missing the two latest entries, but chances are other files are incomplete or missing as well.
You could download the zip install and replace your file with that one.

This is suspicious, i managed to reproduce that exact issue by using standalone 1.1.100 that was updated using built in updater to 1.1.104, and at that point when i enabled experimental updates it failed to update to 1.1.106. By using fresh, standalone 1.1.104, enabling experimental updates it correctly updates to 1.1.106.

This should be fixed, the issue was that when I was making a set of "fat" update packages that were supposed to bring parity to all files to fix all of the updating trouble in the past, I seem to have thought that changelog-switch.txt is not included in the regular version. I have corrected this.

Can you confirm this should be fixed? I just tried updating today from 106 to 107 and getting the same error:
Error Util.cpp:86: File /opt/factorio/data/changelog-switch.txt has unexpected content

This is the headless version, correct? It should work now. Sorry for the trouble.

Just tried again this morning and it still had an error, regarding a comma in the .json file. I was able to manually remove the comma's it was complaining about and got the update to work. Sharing the error snippet, but thank you for getting this done!!
