New in Nixstaller 0.5 (Mar 26, 2009)
- Unattended installers. Using this installation type the installation process can be done without any user interaction, ideal for automated installations.
- A function can be defined inside an installation screen's class that is called continuously when the screen is active. This allows Lua code to be executed in the background.
- Extended widget functionality: widgets can be disabled/enabled, functions to add or remove elements from menus, checkboxes and radiobuttons and text label attributes.
- Much of the core installation code has been moved to Lua, therefore this functionality can now also be used by install creators.
- Extended installer commandline support: option to choose a frontend, improved usage display and an option to dump installer information.
- Binary delta code is replaced by 'subarchives' (extra layer of compressed archived files). This way installers have even less size overhead.
- Installers can now (optionally) auto detect the user's language.
- And much more... see the CHANGELOG for more info.
