1.4 Unicode installers
Hello all.
Here http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter1.html#1.4 is written that "Starting with MakeNSIS v2.50, you can choose create Unicode installers by using TargetMinimalOS...".
But, i don't see anywhere MakeNSIS v2.50. Latest version on http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ from December 06, 2009.
Where a can found the MakeNSIS v2.50?

there is no 'official' v2.50 and it's not guaranteed if/when there is a new version that it would even be that version.

what the docs are referring to (and probably shouldn't be on the main site) is features which are present in the svn version but there's no pre-built version off it.

Latest version is 2.46 [today] and it is pretty stable.
Use this version for your ANSI installers or use this version [2.46] build in UNICODE mode from http://www.scratchpaper.com/

Version you mentioned is only developer-testing-experimental and it is not official!
Probably someone forgot to remove appropriate text from manual :)

No, noone forgot it. The online manual was simply (automatically?) updated to match the svn version. As far as I know pretty much everyone agrees that it's not the optimal situation, but I doubt anyone's going to do anything about it.
