Posted by Cristiano on December 19th, 2009 | Comments Off

hello again

my friends, in the past few weeks, we was beta testing apup 1.2 to try fix a few issues introduced in apup 1.1. right now, we believe that we already tracked all those issues and now the major issues are fixed.

there are 2 main changes:
1. implemented fix for issue with redownloading of already downloaded zip …
2. real fix for problem ‘invalid property value in prjUpdater.mdlDownloader.processDownloadQueue at line 0′

one another major fix is:
3. added possibility to write in Log App.Version

all the features introduced in apup 1.1 are still in place

As for those that are downloading apup for the first time, the new version can be reached in our downloads page

Win2k script: 2 weeks notice

Posted by Cristiano on December 19th, 2009 | Comments Off

hello all

sorry guys, but here goes another script. as your may have already noticed, the Win2k script is without maintenance since several months ago (there’s even an warning about that in the scripts selection window, from apup). in this time, we was looking for someone to keep this script running. so far, no luck. we could keep this one as is, but MS is still replacing updates for this one and several updates are already broken. worst: some still are alive, but the detections doesn’t work anymore, because the update himself was updated and the old detection is no longer valid.

we can’t keep all the scripts running fine with just a few people updating the scripts (yes, that means that we need you). with lack of people, we must hold our efforts to the most popular scripts. and the Win2k script is already breaking the XP and Vista scripts, because a lot of people mix all the scripts in a single folder. that isn’t a real problem (except that the scripts aren’t updated all in the same day and this may lead to certain issues), but right now this has become an real problem: as the users are unable to download the entire script due broken links, the release becomes unofficial and this means that we can’t grant to the user that the files that he downloaded are 100% ok. and this is an problem.

so, in about 2 weeks, the Win2K script will be taken offline. this may be reversed, with the help of volunteers. if someone wishes work on this script, please state that at our foruns
