Installation packages for ooDialog 4.2.0 are now available on SourceForge. Beginning with the release of ooDialog 4.2.0, the installation of ooDialog has been decoupled from the interpreter. ooDialog 4.2.0 installs over the top of any ooRexx installation. It replaces the version of ooDialog in the ooRexx installation with ooDialog 4.2.0.
This type of ooDialog installation is called an "independent" ooDialog installation to indicate the ooDialog installation is independent of an ooRexx installation and, to a degree, the version of ooRexx installed. ooDialog 4.2.0 requires a minimum ooRexx version of 4.1.0 to be installed on the target computer. Installation is simple, done through a typical Windows installer. Pick the installation package that matches the bitness of the ooRexx installation. I.e., a 32-bit package for a 32-bit ooRexx and a 64-bit package for a 64-bit ooRexx. Note that the bitness of the operating system is not relevant here. If you have installed a 32-bit ooRexx on a Windows 64-bit system, you must install a 32-bit ooDialog. The installer will detect the installed ooRexx, location, and version. If the ooRexx version is less than 4.1.0, or if there is no installed ooRexx, the installer will abort with a message explaining the problem. Otherwise the installer will replace the current ooDialog with ooDialog 4.2.0. Along with independent installation packages for ooDialog 4.2.0, independent installation packages are available for ooDialog 4.0.0 and ooDialog 4.1.0. These packages are made available for people who may be unhappy with the direction ooDialog is taking. They allow an individual to upgrade their ooRexx installation and yet remain at an earlier version of ooDialog. ooDialog version numbers have also been decoupled from ooRexx version numbers. ooDialog 4.0.0 is essentially the same as the ooDialog shipped with ooRexx 3.2.0 with the addition of 64-bit compatibility. ooDialog 4.1.0 is essentially the version of ooDialog first shipped with ooRexx 4.0.0 with the addition of all bug fixes and other changes applied up through ooRexx 4.1.2. The packages for independent ooDialog installations are available on SourceForge from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooDialog/ Subdirectories contain packages for the different versions. Read me files in each subdirctory contain notes on each package. -- Mark Miesfeld for the ooRexx development team ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
