Dear Les,

It isn't a problem for us to create installation package. The benefits is that
beta testers must not change very much in their scripts. Also they can downgrade
with the same ease.

During the many alphas, betas and release candidates we get some requests about
"why no package of this temporary release available".

Publishing already now as package are the fixes Ruud made. It are only fixes and
no new things. You can see it also as a kind of second final candidate of pre-
vious release. Ruud doesn't want to have the same situation between build 98 and
99, which returns as @kix value the same value.
Of course it doesn't mean we are following always all alphas and betas updates.

For us the name isn't a big issue. Site contains enough information about what
kind of release it is. Also kixtart itself shows that it is a release candidate.
Les, we were talking about "When releasing it to the public, greater care
should be exercised.". Of course we subscribe that point of view, but Ruud
explicit writes "Please feel free to share this build on your websites, but do
make sure to label it a 'Release Candidate'." and what did we do.

We have never distributed version with your qualification. We respect the
way Ruud want to distribute his program.

greetings.

Regarding the upcoming 4.21:

Everyone's feedback and ideas are kindly requested on the topic of what happens when an error is encountered during copy/move/del.

Here is the topic:

I replied to the post on SL

http://www.scriptlogic.com/support/forums/display_message.asp?mid=6572

The DEL command in KiXtart 2001 4.21 Release Candidate 1 does not set @ERROR even when dealing with one single file.

$myfile='C:\TEMP\TEST.TXT'
DEL $myfile
? 'File deletion returned error is: '+@ERROR+' '+@SERROR

If you run this over and over again you will keep getting

File deletion returned error is: 0 The operation completed successfully.

Even though the file does not exist.

v4.12 sets the @ERROR to 2 like it should.

so, AFAIK (I like that shortening), there seems to be general issue in these file commands.

and mostlikely it's about the new enchanged stuff that also removed partly the working code.

affected commands thus far:
-copy
-move
-del

these commands indeed are highly related and it can be that simple problem in one can fail all of them.

expected fix is the forth coming RC-2 (expected) but there is no news on the timetable of that.

any new bug-reports (small or big) related to the 4.2x line are welcome.

no, sadly we don't.
this version seems to eat time as much as 4.20 did.

KiXtart v4.21-RC2 correctly handles this code now.



Break On
$myfile='C:\TEMP\TEST.TXT'
DEL $myfile
'File deletion returned error is: '+@ERROR+'  '+@SERROR
