1.0.4 (October 25th, 2006)

This release fixes quite a few bugs that have been reported by users (thank you all!), and it adds some new actions and a lot of debugging changes.  This release could be called the debug release for all the changes that have gone in to support debugging.  This should make it a lot easier for developers and testers alike to track down problems in an installer.  The debug output should be very thorough now, but I always like suggestions.  If there's something missing, don't hesitate to ask.

Bugs

• *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***  Fixed a bug where mismatched []'s in virtual text could cause an error when substituting the text.  This was causing installation errors on Japanese systems where the characters were being interpreted as [ in directory paths.  This is potentially incompatible if you are using [] inside of virtual text to substitute Tcl commands.  *NOTE: This does not affect Script actions and conditions like Execute Script and Script Condition where the scripts are properly substituted and eval'd as Tcl commands. [Bug #1578013]
• Fixed a bug in the installjammer script that would cause startup to fail on 64 bit systems because the MACH was not recognized.
• Fixed a bug where extra \'s on a registry key would cause a lookup failure.  We now strip any extra \'s from the key before looking in the registry.
• Fixed a bug where Launch Web Browser would fail on error.  Now, if we're running under KDE or Gnome, the action will attempt to use the default method for launching a URL under those environments.  If that fails, or if we're using a different window manager, the action will attempt to find a suitable browser based on environment and known browsers.
• Fixed a bug in the Add Widget action that would cause errors if a radiobutton was added with values that looked like booleans.  The Value property is now converted to 0 or 1 if it looks like a boolean before creating the radiobuttons. [Bug #1583094]
• Fixed a bug in the Choose Directory dialog where clicking the X on the window would cause an error. [Bug #1565652]
• Fixed a bug in the Choose Directory dialog where choosing a root-level directory (like C:/) would not work. [Bug #1565665]
• Fixed a bug in Windows shortcut creation where long paths could not be used and would end up looking like a path with some junk characters at the end. [Bug #1565654]
• Fixed a bug where a user could accidentally delete an entire Company directory on Windows without knowing it.  Now, we check to see if the directory looks like our <%Company%>, and if it does, we don't delete unless it's totally empty. [Bug #1575801]
• Fixed a bug where installing the Windows uninstall registry entry could fail if we don't have permission to write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  If it fails, we'll try and write to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER uninstall registry instead. [Bug #1578278]

Enhancements

• Added a lot of new debugging output throughout installation.  This will provide more information when running in debug mode.
• Added new variable to specify that debug output should go to the console.  When running in debug mode, this will mimic what goes out to the debug log.  If not in debug mode, you will still see the debug output but with no debug log.
•     With an open console, type: set ::debug 1 upon startup.
• When debugging, any comment on an object is output along with the regular debug output.  This allows developers to comment an object for other developers to see when running in debug mode.
• Added new Brazilian Portugese translations (thanks to Alan Carvalho de Assis!)
• Added new Log Debug Message action.
• Added new Modify Object action.
• Added new Add Directory to Path action.
• Added new Remove Directory from Path action.

• The Move to Pane action now appends the specified pane to the back order of the wizard.
• Added entry widget as a possible type for Add Widget actions.
• Panes marked as inactive will be skipped.
• Files marked as inactive will be skipped when building the list of files to install.
