If I install this into a directory other than c:\mozilla-build I get an
error dialog popup saying can't find c:\mozilla-build or somesuch. Maybe
there's a path hardcoded somewhere? It's a bit of a footgun since the
installer defaults to a non c:\mozilla-build install dir.
Thanks very much for making bzexport work!
cpearce.

For the past many months, I have been working on some major updates to the
Mozillabuild package in order to make it more developer-friendly and
easily-maintainable in the future. I am proud to say that at this time, it
is ready for more widespread testing.
The latest test build can be downloaded from the link below:
http://people.mozilla.org/~rvandermeulen/MozillaBuildSetup2.0.0pre4.exe
sha1sum: 9edb5c51bdb5f9a5d86baf5046967d8940654353
Release notes are available below. A few general notes:
* It is strongly advised that you *NOT* install this over a previous 1.x
install. Changes have been made to the directory structure and underlying
packages that could result in unexpected results should you choose to do so.
* As is always the case when updating Mozillabuild, you should clobber
after installing.
* Bugs that you come across can be filed in the mozilla.org::MozillaBuild
component.
My goal is to ship the final release in two weeks, so any feedback you can
provide now would be welcome!
Thanks,
Ryan
-----------------
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
* Added support for MSVC2015 and dropped support for MSVC <2013, WinSDK
<8.1, and MSVC Express Edition.
- MSVC Community Edition is now the recommended free compiler option
* Added minTTY 1.1.3 and enabled it as the default console.
- Windows cmd.exe can be used by default by removing the 1 from |SET
USE_MINTTY=1| near the top of start-shell.bat
* Overhauls to the start-msvc* batch scripts that improve consistency and
simplify maintenance.
- To launch a plain terminal with no MSVC path setting, use
start-shell.bat (was start-shell-l10n.bat in previous releases)
* Updated Mercurial to version 3.3.2 and switched to the native python
version.
- Allows extensions like bzexport that rely on previously-unavailable
python components to work correctly.
- Enables faster future updates in the event of serious bugs or security
issues.
- Enabled extensions: blackbox, color, histedit, mq, pager, progress,
purge, rebase, share, transplant
- See the Known Issues section for regressions from this change.
