Change log and release notes can be found at:



Known issues:

• Documentation about new uninstaller pages is not yet completely up-to-date.
• The change log is not yet completely up-to-date.
• Version number is still 2.0b4 (CVS).

Cool, any eta for the LZMA compression as yet?
Sorry, I'm just really looking forward to it 🙂

A week after b4 is released. You better help me release b4 fast 😉

OK, documentation updated, RC2 out.

Please help us test it and reply even if it's just for saying "it works for me".

RC2 works very well for me, except for complaining about missing language strings for czech, romanian and polish MUI language files.

Thank you, for your hard work on NSIS!

With best regards,

Yes, a few language files are still not up-to-date 🙁

But we have waited long enough. I hope to have the language files seperated from the main release on the next version to prevent this kind of delays in the future. Maybe some automated system that will allow uses to upload their language files to the NSIS website.

It works for me! 😁

Great job Kichik, and everyone else involved, the amount of work put into this release is really impressive. 🙂

It works for me!

Great work everyone! 🙂

kichik,

Yes, a few language files are still not up-to-date 🙁

I've just sent the remaining untranslated strings to the translators of my program and asked them to do the translation.

With best regards,

A tiny bug: In part 2.5 of the CHM help file, the link to Mondern UI Examples doesn't work.

mikem4600, thanks, fixed.

Heidenreich, that would be great, thanks!

I just noticed that this does not work any longer

!define MUI_SPECIALBITMAP 'file.bmp'

!define MUI_HEADERBITMAP 'file2.bmp'

Note quite sure when it stopped working or even if it was intentional?

Vytautas 😕

Ok, I tester both RC1 and RC2, and makensis.nsi fails to compile with both ZLIB and BZIP2; there is an error on line 84.

RIV@NVX it worked for me.

Vytautas

Vytautas, that has changed... 🙁

Use MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP to set the bitmap and MUI_HEADERIMAGE to tell the MUI there is a bitmap.

RIV@NVX, thanks, fixed.

OK, RC3 is here. Fixed some examples, more docs, fixed bug #844989 (uninstaller subsections), added compressor settings to MakeNSISw, fixed a problem with fonts in the MUI (^Font and ^FontSize were mixed up), language files updates and RTL header image support for MUI.

Unless something turns up, NSIS 2.0b4 should be released in around 6 hours.

No more RCs, it's final! 😁

Thank you for your help.

!insertmacro MUI_UNFINISHHEADER don't work anymore! What do replace it?

You don't need it anymore, it's automatically inserted for you.

MUI_HEADERIMAGE

The variables:
MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_UNNOSTRETCH and
MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT (in uninstaller context) appear to be incorrect in ~/contrib/modern UI/readme.html.

The correct names should have been:
MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_NOSTRETCH
MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNRIGHT

(at least, these do the business).
Otherwise, things are looking bright!

-Torsten

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_UNNOSTRETCH is indeed incorrect, I'll fix that.

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT can only be set for both installer and uninstaller (there is only one setting).
