This release contains minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Minor Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where the Select Destination pane would not properly substitute the destination label when updating the pane.
Installing UNIX shortcuts as root will not install them for all users and not for the root user. This does not count for desktop icons, only for program folders and shortcuts.
Removed the code to restart the gnome-panel on Gnome desktops. It seems like the panel will automatically pick up the changes on its own now.
Fixed a bug where the default system language was not getting picked up properly on some Windows systems.
Fixed a bug with the choose directory dialog on Vista where it was still looking for My Documents even though Vista just calls it Documents.
Fixed a bug where trying to launch explorer in a directory on Vista would just open the explorer to the My Computer screen.
Fixed a bug where tar and zip archives did not auto refresh files when the Refresh File List Before Building preference was turned on.
Fixed a bug in the Create File Link action where it would fail on UNIX systems if the link target did not already exist. This will remain a requirement for Windows platforms however.
Fixed a bug in the Execute External Program action where the Progressive Output Widget could not be found when the action was nested in an action group.
Cleaned up all of the message catalogs to remove double spaces when displaying text in some panes. These extra spaces were part of the actual message catalog and not a bug in the installers.
Fixed a bug where some actions (like WriteTextToFile) that log files would error out when running inside of an uninstaller.
Fixed a bug where editing some text fields would not cause the project to become modified.
Fixed a bug where setting Windows file attributes on a non-Windows platform would then cause an error during installation.
Fixed a bug in the Platform Condition where not all platforms were available.
Fixed a bug in the Execute External Program action where watching for output to the Status virtual text could cause an infinite loop error.
Fixed a bug where Uninstall Leftover Files was failing on console installs.
Fixed a bug where actions after a Move Forward or Move to Pane action would still be executed when they should be skipped.
Fixed a bug where icons and menus were not being properly removed during uninstall on the Linux platform.
Fixed a bug that broke solid compression builds on all platforms.
Fixed a bug where using an install password would fail due to a missing function.
Fixed a bug when running multiple installers and closing a child installer would delete the temporary directory out from under the parent.
Fixed a bug in the Locate Java Runtime action where it would attempt to prompt the user with a dialog in a console install. For now, there is no prompt for the user in a console install, it is simply ignored.
Fixed a bug where the Modify Widget action could end up clearing a text widget even if no text was specified.
Fixed a bug where a file group's size was not accurate when following
Fixed a bug where tar and zip archives with no files would error with a big, ugly error message. It's a little more graceful now.
Fixed a bug where upgrade installers were not being included as part of the original install during uninstall because of a mismatch in the registry info.
Fixed several bugs related to installers running under WINE. Installers and uninstallers should now run successfully under WINE.
Fixed a bug in the Reboot or Shutdown System action for UNIX systems where no time was specified.
Fixed a bug in uninstall on HP-UX. All platforms now perform the same uninstall that was previously reserved for Windows. Which is to say that the uninstaller is copied off to a temporary location before executing it so that the original uninstaller can be deleted in place.
Fixed a bug that would affect launching installers that launch other installers where the child installer would delete the temporary directory out from under the parent, leaving the parent to error out.
Fixed a bug where creating desktop shortcuts on Linux Gnome desktops would fail if the desktop directory was not called Desktop, as it is on non-English systems.
Fixed a bug where the uninstall on Windows would leave a hanging process after exiting. This would cause problems when the uninstaller was called from some other program.
Fixed a bug in message dialogs where the X button on the window would do nothing.
Fixed a bug in message dialogs where the initial focus button was not correct.
Fixed a bug where editing a virtual text string from the editor would not save when the editor closed.
Fixed a bug where the Launch Web Browser action would not work properly on some versions of Windows.
Fixed a bug where passing /version to an uninstaller would cause an error.
Fixed a bug where the UNIX permissions were being flipped in the builder.

Added a new VirtualTextAPI API call.
Added a new LanguageAPI API call.
Added a new Require Administrator option to the Windows platform.
Added a new Use Uncompressed Binaries option to the Windows platform.
Added a new RequireAdministratorText virtual text to the English message catalog. This message will appear when the user doesn't have the required administrator privileges.
Added a new Installkit property to the Install Wrapped Script action.
Added a new ConfigAPI API call to configure internal settings.
Fixed a bug where the system language might not get used even when the message catalog is compiled into the installer.

In most properties, widgets can now be specified as <pane>.<widget> to specify exactly which pane and widget is meant.
Added a new Install UNIX Program Folder action to allow creating program folders with more options like icons.
Added new "matches" and "does not match" operators to the Platform Condition.
Added the ability to enable response files for installers. Response files let a user save their responses from an install and replay them in another install later.
Added a new Enable Response Files install feature. This will be true by default in projects using version 1.2.13 and higher.

The Locate Java Runtime action now includes a full version number in the <%JavaAvailableVersions%> virtual text.
Added a new <%JavaVersionMinor%> that is set by the Locate Java Runtime action.
The Locate Java Runtime action now substitutes virtual text properly in the search path. Also added some debugging to see where the action is looking for Java on the system.
The Locate Java Runtime action now handles Java versions properly, so you can use a version like 1.6.0_10 as a minimum or maximum. Previously, the version after the _ was invalid.
Added a new Vendor ID to the UNIX shortcut actions to allow for shortcuts to be grouped together under a particular vendor. This makes it easy for multiple installers to create shortcuts in the same program folders.
