======================= GetIt - Version History ======================= You can help: -Does FreewareUpdater have commandline support? If so, please contact me if you know about this ToDo: -Move AppSnap before AppUpdater (since AppSnap will install newest version) -Redo GetIt GUI from scratch into a proper GUI (Show App list right away, File Menu for other features, resizable, every X day reminder to run 'updatedb') -.Git files of "Application" type (like a self-contained mini-repository of a single app - no other repositories required to install that app) -Look into Unattended, WPKG No longer planned: -Support injecting repositories into Appupdater (currently only AppSnap repositories are supported, little/no demand from people to host their own repositories) =============== Version History =============== >2011.08.31 -Reintegrated old changes left out in the last release -Updated downloaded AppUpdater to v1.5 >2011.08.30 -AppSnap is no longer included by default since the repository seems outdated -Run 'getit.exe getenginesall' to add AppSnap support -Accidently excluded some old changes >2009.10.20 -Fixed GUI not being run by Installer (GUI is the one who does the file association to .git files, so if you never ran it yourself, the start-menu install shortcuts wouldn't have worked) >2009.10.13 "Quiet" --Basically, once it starts installing, it should just keep on setting everything up without any further message boxes, unless there is an update to GetIt -No longer asks if you want to install AppSnap/AppUpdater (will always do it, unless already installed) -No longer reports which App-Getters were detected (They all better have been, since they were just installed for you, if not existant) -No longer runs GUI after install -AppSnap is now higher priority than AppUpdater by default (more likely to give you newest version) >2009.10.08 "Hi Windows 7" -You can now install applications from the Windows 7/Vista start menu search (Just search for what you want, click Install) -Added start-menu shortcut to Update Repositories -Updated auto-downloaded AppUpdater to v1.2.1 >2009.04.12 "Portable" -You can now make GetIt portable (just insert your USB Stick and click "Make Portable" in GUI) -Added support for installing GetIt to a different drive than where AppSnap/AppUpdater are installed to -Fixed getting "====..." application from Appupdater repository (needed to skip 3 lines rather than 2 in applist) >2009.01.10 -Fixed installer window being in front of initial 'getengines' message box -updatedb: Moved "Downloading Repository" text up to not cut off longer URLs >2009.01.07 "Chain and Able" -Chain Install supported! --GUI lets you select multiple applications with Ctrl, then install them all in a row, without pause --GUI also lets you create a Batch file of your selected Chain Install for later use -getit 'install': getit will now close right after the install is done, even if the cmd log is still visible (No more having to hit Enter to continue install chain) -getit 'getengines' will now automatically move into updating your repositories afterwards -Updater automatically calls 'getengines' after updates now (which is a good thing to do ;p) -Auto-installing AppSnap/Appupdater informs you of why the download failed now, if it failed [Puchisoft Repository] -Added Dispatcher -Fixed GetIt version format (not that you are going to install GetIt with GetIt... I hope! ;p) >2009.01.06 -GetIt 'getengines' will now offer to download and silently install AppUpdater/AppSnap rather than just opening the website for you -getit 'install' can now be run one after another without them running into each other (useful for batch files; this is the groundwork for official installChain support) --will also wait for needed app-engine to close before launching it (fixes issue with running multiple single installs seperately) -Win-Get removed as a default App-Getting Engine (Its Database has been offline for a while) --It's still included: If you want to re-enable it, just add "Win-Get" to the end of your preference.txt -Can now use "installr"/"installu" instead of "installrefresh"/"installupgrade" in FARR (alias change) -Added Progress bar when downloading Repositories or things via getit:// -AppSnap no longer Pauses after updating its main repository (Appupdater didn't either) [Requires running 'getengines' again] -Cleaned up GUI, replaced 2nd Quit button with Check For Updates to GetIt -Fixed getit.exe not closing in certain cases >2008.12.03 -GUI can now be closed using a normal windows X -Cleaned up GUI >2008.11.21 -Fixed link pointing to AppSnap when asking to download AppUpdater >2008.08.01 -Now uses Puchisoft Dispatcher for the Updater -Fixed spelling error in GUI >2007.12.31 -Added Upgrade Button to GUI -Fixed GUI not being closed by installer >2007.12.24 -Changed version format to reflect date, which is more meaningful than an arbitrary number -Implimented ShipIt One-Click-To-Ship methology in GetIt development process >0.37 (December 22, 2007) -Now supports Appupdater!
