What's New in version 5.4.2:

• Windows 7 change:
  • Added new [Icons] section flag: excludefromshowinnewinstall. Prevents a Start menu entry for a newly installed application shortcut from receiving a highlight on Windows 7 (or later). Ignored on earlier Windows versions.
• Compiler IDE change:
  • Changed shortcut for Edit | Complete Word to Alt+Right (but still recognize Ctrl+Space). Reportedly, Ctrl+Space conflicts with the Chinese IME.
• Fixes:
  • Inno Setup Preprocessor: #include handling of '.´ and '..´ now treats such filenames as relative to the directory containing the current file, not to the current directory (which is undefined).
  • On the 5.4.1 Unicode compiler, trying to build a multi-language installer while running under a DBCS code page could unexpectedly result in 'Illegal null character' errors.
  • On Unicode, string-type parameters passed to BeforeInstall and AfterInstall functions were being converted to ANSI.

What's New in version 5.4.1:

• Inno Setup Preprocessor (ISPP) changes:
  • ISPP is now an official part of Inno Setup and is included in the standard Inno Setup installer instead of only being included in the QuickStart Pack installer.
  • It is now possible to enable ISPP preprocessing on .isl files by adding a line saying #preproc ispp at the top of the .isl file.
  • With the exception of Exec, ReadIni, and WriteIni, all ISPP functions that take filenames have been changed to interpret the filenames as relative to SourcePath instead of the current directory. Additionally, these functions, the #include directive, and the #file directive now support prefix expansion (e.g. 'compiler:') in filenames.
  • The #include directive no longer searches the current directory.
  • Builtins.iss has been renamed to ISPPBuiltins.iss.
  • The Compiler IDE no longer displays a separate ISPP version number in its title bar.
• Compiler IDE changes:
  • The Edit | Replace | Replace All command now actually replaces all occurrences, instead of doing a Delphi-style "From Cursor" replacement. Also it now counts all replacements as a single undo action and shows how many occurrences were replaced.
  • Unicode change: Added a new File | Save Encoding submenu. It now defaults to preserving the UTF-8 BOM of existing files, even if the UTF-8 encoding isn't really needed.
• Unicode change: Added support for Unicode characters in DLL filenames (not specified directly in the script, but returned by constants like {app}). This fixes the "Cannot Import" error seen with for example the CodeDll.iss example script when uninstalling from an {app} path containing non-ANSI characters.
• Two new Setup exit codes related to the Preparing to Install stage were added. See the help file for more information.
• Minor tweaks.

What's New in version 5.4.0:

• Compiler IDE changes:
  • The editor component has been changed from SynEdit to Scintilla.
  • Autocompletion support has been added to all sections except for [Messages], [CustomMessages], and [Code].
  • Brace highlighting has been added to all sections.
  • Syntax errors are now underlined during editing. (Support for the [Code] section is limited.)
  • Constants are now highlighted.
  • Variable-pitch fonts may now be selected as the editor font.
  • ISPP inline directives ({#...}) are now consistently highlighted in all contexts.
  • Zooming is now supported.
  • Added new options: Word wrap (default: off), Auto indent mode (default: on), Show indentation guides (default: off), Invoke autocomplete automatically (default: on), Underline syntax errors (default: on), and Use tab character (default: off).
• Setup now instructs edit controls which are used to input a file or folder name to use AutoComplete to help complete file system paths.
• On disk space checks, Setup now queries the nearest volume mount point rather than the root.
• The default directory and Start Menu folder names specified via the /DIR=, /GROUP=, and /LOADINF= command line parameters now may include an "expand:" prefix which instructs Setup to expand any constants in the name. For example: /DIR="expand:{pf}\My Program".
• Pascal Scripting changes:
  • TNewProgressBar: Added new Style and State properties. See the CodeClasses.iss example script for an example.
  • TBitmapImage: Added new OnClick and OnDblClick properties. See the CodeClasses.iss example script for an example.
• Dropped Itanium-specific 64-bit support for the [Files] section's regtypelib flag and the [Registry] section's Permissions parameter. These features depended on an Itanium-specific "helper" binary, which we no longer have the ability to test or build. (x64 support for these features is unaffected.)
• Updated bzip2 library to version 1.0.6.
• Minor tweaks.
