This document briefly outlines new features and enhancements that have been added to version 2.0 of StuffIt InstallerMaker. For more detailed information and instructions on some of the major features, please read the User's Guide Addendum located in the "Read Us First!" folder.
StuffIt InstallerMaker 2.0
=======================
New Features
------------
• Power Macintosh support includes:
The ability to set conditions for installation based on the customer's CPU; Installation of native Power Mac files, 680x0, or Fat Binaries, depending on the customer's configuration; files install on Power Macintoshes at accellerated speeds; "Smart" installation option lets the installer itself determine what the target CPU is at the time of installation, and installs only the appropriate files.
• Localization support
Easily select localization languages for your product's installer.
• Font and desk accessary installation.
InstallerMaker installs Fonts and desk accessaries where they need to go...even under System 6.
• Gestalt support
Improved condition support allows you to pick Gestalt values as install conditions. As a convienence we have included two text files that list some of the Gestalt selectors found on the Macintosh. These files can be found in the "Users Guide & License Agreement" folder.
• Progress Cursors
Sick of seeing a watch? Pick one of 5 progress cursors for your installer.
• Improved User Interface Control
More user interface features are optional...turn on/off the UI you need.
• Improved Code Extensions
Custom created resources to handle tasks outside the InstallerMaker feature are more powerful than before.
Bug Fixes
---------
• "Replace" option
Occasionally, when Stuffing a file or folder and a file or folder with that name already existed, InstallerMaker would not always replace properly. InstallerMaker will now always prompt the user to replace the older file, or add the new one.
StuffIt InstallerMaker 1.0.1
=========================
Product Installers
----------------
• Users can now double-click on packages in the custom install dialog to install that package.
• Users now have the option to save startup text to a TeachText file.
• Product Installers will point the "Install software into folder:" dialog toward the startup drive if run from a server volume. This makes server installers possible.
InstallerMaker Application
------------------------
• IM now links aliases with files that it installs. (Uses name/type/creator to resolve.)
• IM now remembers the segment size with each build image.
• Added support for setting colors in Edit Startup Text.
• Added cmd keys for bold, italic, etc. in Edit Startup Text.
• Changed "Install software as:" to "Install software into folder:" in "Save" dialog.
• Added a new "Replace" option
When you Stuff a file or folder and a file or folder with that name already exists, you are now given the opportunity to have StuffIt replace the old file or folder with the new one. Replace replaces ALL matching items in archive.
• When copying/pasting installer archive items from a nested folder to the root level of the archive, we now inherit the attributes such as destination, conditions, etc. from the uppermost parent of the copied item.
• Added 44Mb and 88 Mb cartridge segment sizes.
• Added new segment size for HFS Interchange format.
Bug Fixes
---------
• Forcing a restart after installing packages greater than H didn't work. FIXED.
• Fixed bugs with custom condition flags.
• InstallerMaker would not allow copy/paste to work in Edit Startup Picture or Edit Startup Text. Changed dialogs to movable modals so that copy/paste now work.
• Fixed a problem when installing files that had a "." in front of them.
