NSIS 2.29 released
Notes:

NSIS 2.29 is released. The most notable addition in this release is nsDialogs -
a faster and far more capable replacement for InstallOptions. It allows
creating controls of any type directly from the script and removes the need to
mess with slow INI files. It integrates directly into the script by calling
functions for notification, including change notification for edit boxes. This
release also includes the usual assortment of bug fixes and improvements.

• Added nsDialogs - a replacement for InstallOptions

• Disable Windows error messages for the entire installer and not just for an incomplete list of fail-points (bug #1741061)
• Fixed incorrect large version handling of GetFileVersion (bug #1742255, patch #1742562)
• Fixed the ReverseSection macro in Sections.nsh (bug #1742793)
• Minor documentation improvements
• Simplified REG_MULTI_SZ reader
• Use SHGetFolderPath where available to better support all users' folders

• Banner: Avoid possible hangs when called from page callbacks (bug #1743801)
• NSISdl: added /TRANSLATE2 for more "translator-friendly" strings (patch #1656076)
• NSISdl: support downloads over 2gb (patch #1723131)

• Added International Spanish

• Added support for HPUX (patch #1714416)

Site is automatically updated by the release script and works fine for me. Just refresh whatever cache that's in the way.

is there an nsDialogs readme somewhere or do I have to read the source code and understand how the thing works before i can actually use it?

Currently, there are only the examples. Would be nice if someone can help with the documentation. If not, I'll whip something up for the next version.

Wow, I just started learning how to use NSIS three days ago, and now there's a new version along with a new way to create custom dialogs! Sweet! (I thought InstallOptions was a little confusing to use.)
