Installation packages for ooDialog version 4.2.3 are now available on
SourceForge
at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooDialog/4.2.3/
This is the official release of ooDialog 4.2.3.
ooDialog 4.2.3 is a routine update with bug fixes and a few enhancements.
The ReadMe file that displays on the SourceForge download page contains a
list of the bug fixes and enhancements in 4.2.3. In addition the ooDialog
reference manual, in chapter 1, Brief Overview, section 1.5 Current Release
contains a complete discussion of the changes in ooDialog 4.2.3 from
ooDialog 4.2.2.
4.2.3 has a few new features. It contains the implementations of Request
For Enhancements that were submitted to the project on SourceForge. Users
of ooDialog are encouraged to submit requests for features or enhancements
they would like to see in ooDialog using the Request for Enhancement
tracker at:
https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/feature-requests/?source=navbar
The new features in 4.2.3 include implementations of Vista Open File and
Save File dialogs, along with a stand alone ooDialog executable. The
executable can be used to display information about ooDialog, to run
ooDialog programs with not visible console (similar to rexxhide but with a
few enhancements,) as a drag-and-drop target for ooDialog programs, and to
configure file associations for ooDialog programs.
There are no known bugs in ooDialog at the time of this release. Anyone
suspecting they have discovered a bug or other problem in ooDialog is
encourage to report this using the ooRexx SourceForge tracker for bugs:

Beginning with the release of ooDialog 4.2.0, the installation of ooDialog
has been decoupled from the interpreter. ooDialog 4.2.3 installs over the
top of any ooRexx installation. It replaces the version of ooDialog in the
ooRexx installation with ooDialog 4.2.3.
This type of ooDialog installation is called an "independent"
ooDialog installation to indicate the ooDialog installation is independent
of an ooRexx installation and, to a degree, the version of ooRexx installed.
ooDialog 4.2.3 requires a minimum ooRexx version of 4.1.0 to be installed
on the target computer.
Installation is simple, done through a typical Windows installer. Pick the
installation package that matches the bitness of the ooRexx installation.
I.e., a 32-bit package for a 32-bit ooRexx and a 64-bit package for a
64-bit ooRexx. Note that the bitness of the operating system is not
relevant here. If you have installed a 32-bit ooRexx on a Windows 64-bit
system, you must install a 32-bit ooDialog.
The installer will detect the installed ooRexx, location, and version. If
the ooRexx version is less than 4.1.0, or if there is no installed ooRexx,
the installer will abort with a message explaining the problem. Otherwise
the installer will replace the current ooDialog with ooDialog 4.2.3.
