> Very nice! Seems to work fine for me here. Which OS is that? I'd especially like people running non-Windows 2000 to test this version out if they can, as well as folks with older, slower hardware to see if the changes to java launching/killing have caused any unexpected problems.

However it seems the list archives may have stopped running. The latest post I could find in this months archive was around about the 7th Feb. > Further, with snapshot updating, (and/or during installation), it would > be nice to give the user the option to install the unstable snapshot > (with all appropriate warnings about instability). This will appear when the webinstaller has 'automatic' and 'custom' modes. Automatic will just be the current "keep on clicking Next" variety, which will install freenet-latest.jar, whereas Custom will let you pick between freenet-latest.jar and freenet-unstable-latest.jar (as well as providing additional installation tweaks) > It would also be > nice if the update could be done from the task-tray menu, not just the > Start menu entry. I'm planning to add a menu option, "Check For Updates", which does just that. This will not appear until freenet-webinstall.exe can look for updated versions of itself from snapshots (it doesn't currently update itself if run from local, although if you download an updated webinstaller from snapshots it does copy itself into the freenet directory), and also until there's some intelligence in determining if files have updated (i.e. checking timestamps / MD5 checksums / what-have-you), otherwise it will just install whatever's the latest (and not Check) > Perhaps the UpdateSnapshot.exe program could be replaced by just > re-running the installer - possibly with a command-line option to change > text where appropriate (from "install" to "upgrade"). Yes, it had : UpdateSnapshot.exe has been superseded by just running freenet-webinstaller (there's no point having two binaries that do essentially the same thing). You'll notice the your Start Menu "Update Snapshot" shortcut actually points to freenet-webinstall.exe (assuming you've used the recent freenet-webinstall!) A command-line option is proposed to alter the behaviour slightly (it will prevent freenet-webinstall.exe looking in the local directory for current files, a behaviour which is necessary only for freenet-distribution) and there's no reason why it couldn't be used to also change the screen text. d _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
