|
|---|
| 48 | Added a modified version of JGoodies' (excelent) Look And Feel to reduce
|
|---|
| 49 | the size of the installers and include and option for anti-aliased fonts
|
|---|
| 50 | in the swing GUI.
|
|---|
| 51 | - Anti-aliasing is resource intensive but good looking.
|
|---|
| 52 | - The package name has been changed to maintain compatibility on the classpath
|
|---|
| 53 | with the original JGoodies files, the new package is org.tp23.jgoodies.

|---|
| 62 | Removed images from the default build of antinstaller.jar

|
|---|
| 65 | download in the /images directory.
|
|---|
| 66 | The online manual has been updated, all the changes are included in the download.
|
|---|
| 67 | Added some of the new features to the examples and the AnInstaller installer.
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | ========================================
|
|---|
| 70 | version 0.7
|
|---|
| 71 | File and Directory choosers will now show hidden files .
|
|---|
| 72 | Thanks to Markus Dueringer for the tip.
|
|---|
| 73 | Environment variables can now be accesses in default values with the
|
|---|
| 74 | ${env.ProgramFiles} syntax. - thanks again to Markus Dueringer
|
|---|
| 75 | Also the Java system properties can be accessed with the "java." prefix.
|
|---|
| 76 | - e.g ${java.user.name}
|
|---|
| 77 | Show details button was not big enough in some LAFs - thanks to Mike Watts.
|
|---|
| 78 | There are known issues with the directory selector and the Metouia LAF,
|
|---|
| 79 | I can't replicate the issues but if you have problems.
|
|---|
| 80 | a) use the modified JGoodies which apparently does not have this problem.
|
|---|
| 81 | b) keep the stack traces and report them please!
|
|---|
| 82 | When using the selfextractor from windows or X users will probably not
|
|---|
| 83 | see the errors anyway.
|
|---|
| 84 | Better defaulting is included for the Directory chooser <page
|
|---|
| 85 | type="text"
|
|---|
| 86 | name="intro.1"
|
|---|
| 87 | displayText="HTML page"
|
|---|
| 88 | htmlResource="/resources/text.html"
|
|---|
| 89 | textResource="/resources/text.txt"
|
|---|
| 90 | overflow="true" />
|
|---|
| 91 | the home directory will be shown less often, it was particularly annoying
|
|---|
| 92 | when the chooser is used to create a new directory
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | ========================================
|
|---|
| 95 | version 0.7.1
|
|---|
| 96 | Bug fix in Defaulting Directory Chooser that manifested in not being able to see
|
|---|
| 97 | directories in app-root.
|
|---|
| 98 | RFE-1154368 Can't install from a read only source fixed.
|
|---|
| 99 | The log file is written to the temp dir if it cannot write to the current dir.
|
|---|
| 100 | The ant.install.properties file is only written if it can be since it is
|
|---|
| 101 | primarily for debug.
|
|---|
| 102 | - There is no requirement to add <property file="ant.install.properties"/>
|
|---|
| 103 | to the build file any more properties will be added directly to the
|
|---|
| 104 | build as with secret properties.
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | ========================================
|
|---|
| 107 | version 0.7.2
|
|---|
| 108 | Changed the implementation of the Progress Details so selecting text is now possible.
|
|---|
| 109 | This is more stable too. It has the side effect of keeping the whole System.out
|
|---|
| 110 | and System.err in memory which is only an issue for veeerrry long builds on
|
|---|
| 111 | machines with too little RAM.
|
|---|
| 112 | Changed minor bug where directly edited (not via the chooser) file inputs were
|
|---|
| 113 | replaced with defaults if the user when back.
|
|---|
| 114 | Added TargetSelectInput by Mark Anderson providing the option of radio buttons
|
|---|
| 115 | for targets instead of checkboxes.
|
|---|
| 116 | Fixed an introduced bug launching from the root drive when ANT_HOME was not set.
|
|---|
| 117 | Introduced a new "NonExtractor" this is a replacement mechanism to the SelfExtractor.
|
|---|
| 118 | The Jar is still used to run the installer but the files are not extracted
|
|---|
| 119 | by default.
|
|---|
| 120 | In the build.xml files should be specifically extracted using unzip with
|
|---|
| 121 | nested patternsets to specify the files to extract.
|
|---|
| 122 | This provide opportunities to improve the performance of installers.
|
|---|
| 123 | Unzipping can now be performed directly into the installation directories rather
|
|---|
| 124 | than unzipping and then copying or moving.
|
|---|
| 125 | Also the antinstaller classes and LookAndFeel and Xerces need no longer
|
|---|
| 126 | be extracted.
|
|---|
| 127 | Added an new feature to the ifProperty attribute so the property being tested can
|
|---|
| 128 | come from the environment or the java system properties.
|
|---|
| 129 | for example ifProperty="${env.SHELL}=/bin/bash thanks to Eddyrun.
|
|---|
| 130 | The old syntax of property=value is deprecated in favour of ${property}=value
|
|---|
| 131 | N.B. ${property}=${value} is NOT supported.
|
|---|
| 132 | Big internal changes to the Execution class to use a filter pattern currently
|
|---|
| 133 | hardcoded but with intent to allow pluggable pre and post install tasks.
|
|---|
| 134 |
|
|---|
| 135 | ========================================
|
|---|
| 136 | version 0.7.3
|
|---|
| 137 | Added overflow="true" to simple input page.
|
|---|
| 138 | GridBag Layout used instead of absolute positioning modified to support overflow size
|
|---|
| 139 | difference.
|
|---|
| 140 | More Images and Icons added to a separate download.
|
|---|
| 141 | Added GUI tools for Quick start.
|
|---|
| 142 | A Much more flexible ifProperty syntax supporting some standard operator with non
|
|---|
| 143 | standard syntax (see the docs).
|
|---|
| 144 | Fixed a fatal introduced bug in the console version installer
|
|---|
| 145 |
|
|---|
| 146 | ========================================
|
|---|
| 147 | version 0.7.4
|
|---|
| 148 | Added an optional feature to hide password on the console. set textMask="true".
|
|---|
| 149 | N.B. this does not work in eclipse's console and may not be a stable solution
|
|---|
| 150 | Implemented plugable filter chains to add steps to the install process.
|
|---|
| 151 | An example releaseNotes plugin is provided.
|
|---|
| 152 | Added ext-validated type for pluggable field validation as yet unteset
|
|---|
| 153 | and undocumented.
|
|---|
| 154 | Added an Ant task to build installers using Ant.
|
|---|
| 155 | Added a modified version of the MetalLookAndFeel to reduce download size and still
|
|---|
| 156 | be able to get the required amount of text in labels and buttons.
|
|---|
| 157 | Added LookAndFeel names : "default"|"jgoodies", "greymetal" or "null" .
|
|---|
| 158 | Further testing to allow downloads without including xercesImpl.jar or xml-apis.jar
|
|---|
| 159 | Added progress pane enhancements to show the targets running for visual feedback of
|
|---|
| 160 | install progress without having to monitor the output logs which can be
|
|---|
| 161 | ugly/confusing.
|
|---|
| 162 | XMLValiation of test scripts and minor changes in the DTD.
|
|---|
| 163 | Extended validation of config and integrated validation into the installer Ant task.
|
|---|
| 164 | N.B. passing command line parameters to the build is an override of the detection
|
|---|
| 165 | method, start scripts should be modified if the default behaviour is requried.
|
|---|
| 166 | e.g. java -cp $CP org.tp23.antinstaller.runtime.ExecInstaller default .
|
|---|
| 167 | will not override the default behaviour or trying X and falling back
|
|---|
| 168 | to text/console
|
|---|
| 169 | Added an untested feature for including arbitrary validation classes ExtValidated
|
|---|
| 170 | Assorted fixes for i18n.
|
|---|
| 171 | app-root no longer creates the directory if it is missing.
|
|---|
| 172 |
|
|---|
| 173 | ========================================
|
|---|
| 174 | version 0.8
|
|---|
| 175 | Added features to load defaults from previous installs and perform almost silent
|
|---|
| 176 | installs property names and targets must not end with the string -targets,
|
|---|
| 177 | this is validated in the config checker.
|
|---|
| 178 | Comments expand property values.
|
|---|
| 179 | Multiline comments via use of explanatoryText and a null displayText value.
|
|---|
| 180 | Fixed a display bug in the progress renderer if there were more than 5
|
|---|
| 181 | targets and none that were dependencies.
|
|---|
| 182 | PropertyLoaderFilter added, any users with custom .fconfig files should
|
|---|
| 183 | ensure thier custom versions are still compatible.
|
|---|
| 184 | Added a release notes feature that is a tad tricky to install so
|
|---|
| 185 | contact for details.
|
|---|
| 186 | Added HTML page feature that allows using the Java HTML rendering to display
|
|---|
| 187 | a page of HTML property references are expanded so the page can contain
|
|---|
| 188 | ${property.name} syntax to give feed back of selected properties.
|
|---|
| 189 | Images are loaded from the classpath so the following syntax will locate
|
|---|
| 190 | and display an image <img src="/resources/temazo.png">.
|
|---|
| 191 | Java HTML rendering is poor at best and only html3.2 ,
|
|---|
| 192 | so dont expect firefox quality rendering ;)
|
|---|
| 193 | The java renderer handles PNG properly though so nice .
|
|---|
| 194 | trancparency effects can be achieved.
|
|---|
| 195 | Fixed bug in validation if only target-selects are used.
|
|---|
| 196 | Extended i18n for antinstall-config.xml files using ResourceBundles
|
|---|
| 197 | called LanguagePack
|
|---|
| 198 | GUI tool for creating LanguagePack files.
|
|---|
| 199 | Changes to the Expression code for ifProperty attributes
|
|---|
| 200 | The original syntax is not 100% compatible e.g. my.property=value1
|
|---|
| 201 | will not work it should be converted to ${my.property}=value1.
|
|---|
| 202 | Initial work on loading existing values if found to automate installs.
|
|---|
| 203 | Not quite silent installs but save repeating entries.
|
|---|
| 204 | Added ability to stretch the GUI horizontally, but still using fixed widths.
|
|---|
| 205 | Set the wide attribute in the installer element to configure width
|
|---|
| 206 | e.g. 600:275
|
|---|
| 207 | Added the ability to deliver different install types in the same Jar which
|
|---|
| 208 | can be selected on the command line with -type [install type].
|
|---|
| 209 | Added icons to the buttons in the swing GUI, the installer Ant task now takes
|
|---|
| 210 | a new attribute called icons to specify which icon pack to use.
|
|---|
| 211 | Added ability to run special Ant tasks mid build, the same build-xml file is used
|
|---|
| 212 | but the message rendering and logging is different in the antinstaller- tasks
|
|---|
| 213 | Added icons for kde and windows to the AntInstaller SelfExtractor, lots of Ant
|
|---|
| 214 | hacking to avoid extra dependencies.
|
|---|
| 215 | Migrated classes from sysout.jar into the core src packages
|
|---|
| 216 | Renamed ant-ext.jar to ant-installer-ext.jar
|
|---|
| 217 | all build files will need to be updated |
|---|
