Hello hello,

New launcher, new feature :

Thanks to @gregsn, you can now specify editable packages in the settings menu. As the Gray Book says, referencing a package here will "disable compilation for the specified packages so you can work on them". This is mostly interesting for package devvvveloppers.

You might also remember from the previous version that vvvv did not seem to like the new gamma version numbering that drops the year prefix. Big thanks to the devvvvs for reverting that change, leaving me some time to catch up. Turns out the regex that was in use did return an empty string against this new version number, which was causing the madness.. let's see how this goes when this new version numbering gets re-introduced.

Also, as requested, along with the installer comes the launcher executable you can run directly, à l'ancienne.

One important thing to note though: see this version as a "temporary" one. As @gregsn and @anton-vvvv pointed out, we can do something a bit more clever and friendly than just giving you a bunch of check-boxes to enable or disable command-line arguments. We can tell a story around those.. but hey, this will be for the next one. Meanwhile, you can read about it in the corresponding issue : #52

Enjoy, and as always, thanks for using the launcher and please shout here or in the forum if something looks fishy!

Changelog

New

  • You can now specify "Editable packages" in the settings tab. Typing the name of a package here and starting vvvv will allow you to edit this package. Thanks to @gregsn for this one!

Fixed

  • The launcher should now accept vvvv installations using the new version format
  • When you uninstall a version, the launcher will select the latest available after the uninstaller has ran. This should get rid of the weird behavior where an uninstalled version would still be displayed in the dropdown (#47)
  • Now shows a warning if a user tries to open the nuget folder without having selected a vvvversion first (#44) (which should only happen in vvvvery rare occasions)

Updated

  • Installer exit code is now logged in the Updates tab
  • Assigns stuff to create in keyboardshortcuts, which uses less resources (#45). Thanks bjoern!
