02-Apr-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc9 has been released.

Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Fixed crash when /force was used in conjunction with /synchronize
- Do not force quit if installation fails (unsless /qutonerror is set)

FIX: WPKG crashed when /force was used in conjunction with /synchronize. Fixed.
MOD: WPKG was forced to exit if package checks failed after installation or if
     a package failed to remove. This has been changed. Now WPKG prints an
     error (unless /quitonerror is used).
     Note that installation of packages depending on the failed one will fail
     as well. Some packages require reboot unless checks yield true. Therefore
     it is crucial to define correct package reboot flags for such packages.

Thanks to Rainer Meier.



10-Mar-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc8 has been released.

Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Fixed missing quote in log output

FIX: Included cosmetic fix for Bug 104 (opening quotation missing).
     This fix adds a missing opening quotation in debug output when a new
     package is added to the local settings node (after installation success).
FIX: Fixed Bug 103. /help screen is not showing up if config.xml is missing and
     null-pointer exception is thrown.

Thanks to Frank Lee and Rainer Meier.



15-Jan-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc7 has been released.

Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Fixed Bug 96 - equality check on non-existing registry key yields exception

FIX: Fixed Bug 96. Equality check on non-existing registry value yields an
     exception. The same could theoretically occur as well on IP-address
     evaluation. However there it's very unlikely to happen but I fixed it as
     well.

Thanks to Rainer Meier.



14-Jan-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc6 has been released.

''Changelog''
Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Added /noremove flag

NEW: Added /noremove flag to skip all package uninstallation actions.
     Allows to disable removing of packages. If used in conjunction with the
     /synchronize parameter it will just add packages but never remove them.
     Instead of removing a list of packages which would have been removed
     during that session is printed on exit. Packages are not removed from
     the local settings database (wpkg.xml). Therefore it will contain a list
     of all packages ever installed.
     Note that each package which is requested to be removed (manually or by
     a synchronization request) will be checked for its state by executing its
     included package checks. If the package has been removed manually it will
     also be removed from the settings database. Due to the fact that packages
     whithout checks always return 'false' for during the install-status check
     these packages will disappear from the local wpkg.xml.

Thanks to Rainer Meier.
