Now out: InstantUpdate 1.0 Release Candidate 2

February 17th, 2008

InstantUpdate 1.0 Release Candidate 2 is out now. This is a fairly large release; it has more bugs fixed and features added than any previous version.

New features:

  • InstantUpdate Client is now translated to 11 languages (Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish)
  • Create and edit translations using the new translation editor
  • InstantUpdate is now code signed which produces friendlier warnings when Vista’s UAC elevation is needed
  • Appearance templates can be edited
  • Files can now be executed either before or after your update
  • Programs created with the .NET Framework are automatically optimized

Notable Bug fixes:

  • InstantUpdate Designer correctly supports Windows Explorer drag and drop.
  • Full support for custom set fonts, including Windows Vista’s SegoeUI
  • InstantUpdate Designer starts and runs considerably faster
  • Keyboard accessibility improvements
  • Vista’s UAC elevation is only called when absolutely necessary
  • Plus much more.

And, as always, the forum is open for questions, comments, bug reports, and general help of any kind. No registration is required, just drop by.
