Joe DiMauro commented on WTR-440:
---------------------------------
GUys,
My point was not to abandon AutoIt, but to update to the current library. I've
manually done so and have had no regression issues at all. The current library
is backwards compatible. The plus side is stuff works better, the down side is
it probably takes less time that has been spend discussing it, to implement
this change in whats bundled in the gem.
> Update AutoIt ActiveX Control library (AutoItX3.dll) bundled with Watir to
> current version
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: WTR-440
> URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-440
> Project: Watir
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Gem installer
> Affects Versions: 1.6.5
> Environment: Windows all versions
> Reporter: Joe DiMauro
>
> The AutoIt v3 ActiveX Control library (AutoItX3.dll) bundled with Watir1.6.5
> is a very old version, (version 3.1.1.0), built back in 2005.
> As of 6/1/2010 the version of the library that is distributed with AutoIt's
> installer is version 3.3.6.1. It contains many improvements, fixes and new
> commands, functions and features, that could be useful with Watir if it were
> included, instead of the down-rev version that is currently bundled with
> Watir.
> See AutoIt's change log for details on the changes (from 3.1.1.0 to the
> current version):
> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/history.htm
> The current AutoItX3 installer is available as a free download at:
> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.shtml
> There is also a 64-bit version of the library (AutoITX3_x64.dll) that might
> be of use to install with Watir on 64-bit systems.
