That is generically know as incremental updating. See bug 68274, or the general tracking meta bug 113339. And, retaining Windows JumpLists inside user os profiles is native code. Specific Windows packaging might address situation for os/DE registered JumpLists -- but project cross-platform already retains our MRU history in our per-user profile. The Windows specific bug has received attention, and while we've been able to retain between minor incremental builds the rub comes with major version updates. There might be a solution, but it remains a minor issue (though affecting all Windows users at version update). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
