----
'''08.08.2007'''
WPKG Client 1.0-rc1 has been released.
''Changelog''
* We changed the name to "WPKG Client". This name is more descriptive.
* Rebooting should finally work.
** Still, a change in wpkg.js is needed: wpkg.js needs to end with exit code 3010 - WPKG Client will reboot in that case.
** We don't wan't to reboot indefinitely if system administrator made an error - WPKG Client will reboot the machine only five times in a row; if wpkg.js still ends with exit code 3010, we won't reboot for the sixth time. To reset the counter, wpkg.js needs to exit with exit code different than 3010.
* WPKG Client should install and work with Vista (logon delay is not supported though).
* WPKG service can be now disabled when everything is done (switch available in GUI).
* Settings can be imported from GUI and from command line.
* Added WPKG icons and logos - big thanks to Eric Le Henaff.
* Event Log entries get a proper description (Error, Info etc.).
* Some minor changes in the GUI.
* Minor fixes and cleanups.
''Upgrading instructions''
If you're upgrading from an older version, you have to add SETTINGSFILE pointing to a proper settings.xml file.
Future releases will be able to upgrade without settings.xml file (will use current settings).
As always with rc- releases, take extra care before deploying it on important machines.
''TODO before releasing WPKG Client 1.0 ("final")''
* Modify wpkg.js so that it exits with code 3010 when reboot is needed. Sample patches are of course welcome.
* Right now, "Help..." button in WPKG Client doesn't display any useful info. This should be fixed before the final release. If you can, please help finishing this information - it's located on http://wpkg.org/index.php/WPKG_Client_-_GUI_help
WPKG Client can be downloaded from http://wpkg.org/index.php/Download

'''02.02.2007'''

''Changelog''
