Thanks, Chip! Besides maintenance releases, let me mention some recent script enhancements as follows:
The Install Packages script now has a Get Files button (Alt-G). It prompts for a download folder, defaulting to the user profile folder. It then downloads all packages (.wepm files) to that folder from the current list. Thus, you can download all packages to a folder if you choose the All filter first. The folder path is remembered between invocations. This may be useful if you want to save package files on disk, since the Install button deletes a pckage from a temporary folder after installation. You can rename a package, e.g., to include its version number, as long as you keep the .wepm extension (Window-Eyes gets the package name from inside the package, not from the file name). The Build Packages script now updates the version number in the package if the convention is used of storing that number in a .xml file with a tag called either ScriptVersion or Script_Version. Thus, you can initially create a package with component files (typically .vbs and .xml), filling in the initial version number, package information, and license text. For subsequent versions, you can refresh the package so that it updates with files with the same names in the user profile folder, and increments the version number to the new one you put in the XML file.
