New AutomaticUpdater property "Changes" does not work :-(

Hi, Wyatt, and happy new year to you!

I've updated to the new 2.5.11.0 version of WyBuild, and I've located the new propertis "KeepHidden", "Version" and "Changes". I've also located the new event "ProgressChanged".

"KeepHidden" works well (as does "Version"), but whenever I call the "Changes" property, my whole application terminates without a trace. I've tried to debug using the VS2008 debugger, but the same happens when the debugger excutes the line accessing the property - no exception, no error message, the process simply terminates and the debugger leaves debug mode.

I have tried to omit all call to the "Changes"-property and then everything seems to work fine. But, when debugging, if I place the mouse cursor over the automaticUpdate1variable name in the source code and expands the tree, the debugger tries to evaluate the "Changes"-property and the application again crashes immediately!

Please investigate.

Another thing:

The new event "ProgressChange" seems to return a percentage (the int parameter in the event args). However, while updating it seems that the percentage counts to 100 more than once, indicating to me that a series of update steps are involved. How can I determine the number of steps to go through and what are the names of these steps? I want to control a progress bar using the "ProgressChange" event, but I need some text to display describing the current step (and preferable also something like "step 1 of x") to give the user an idea of how long to wait. I Hope you understand my question...

Thanks for spotting this - it's been fixed in 2.5.12.

Use the UpdateStepOn property to find out the current step on.
