WinBuilder 078

@All!

The WinBuilder development team is proud to announce the release of stable version 078

You can download it here.

Some personal remarks:
While in older time usually it has been me telling Nuno that it is high time to release, this time it has been vice versa.
I have had some doubts because of outstanding questions about WinBuilder working behind a proxy.

But due to the 'Proxy' topic now consisting more than one week, and from more then 25000 asked members there came some positive replies, but no complain, I think that the 'Proxy' is handled well in WinBuilder now, and it is time to release.

And here we are with a lot of news since WinBuilder 076:

Wow, this is awesome. Will re-create my livexp build rite away. Thank you everyone.

Nice work! Thank you, Peter!

Changelog is quite impressive.

Regards,
Galapo.

Great work, attempting this with latest version of ShadowPE.

Not to seem negative but it would be great if someone would update the help files on winbuilder.net to include ALL of the functionality of WB078 this would help the developers of projects a lot.

A hotfix has been necessary

See here.

Peter

It is still hard to find the downloads for winbuilder. There is a big downloads link on the home page for the forum. Could not find any reference to winbuilder downloads in the page it points at. It just appears to be script downloads.

I agree.

I added the link in the first post. But that is only 'special' and should be replaced by a 'general' link.

I think that it is a good job for Nuno to unhide the "http://winbuilder.ne...t/download.php" and put it rather visible inte the forum's page.

Peter
