Wyatt Says...
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.
