ATTENTION: we have to repackage the windows builds, the vote will continue because we change nothing, just repackage the install packages
I have built with the release=t flag to be prepared for future patches that will allow us for example to upgrade a 4.1 or 4.2 to an 4.3. The whole mechanism is very complex and it seems that we have overseen a small detail. No big thing we just have to rebuild for now and have to test the patch mechanism a little bit more. That means also that the msp have to be used even more careful. They work to upgrade a 4.0.1 to a 4.1 but the next msp for a potential 4.2 or 4.1.1 can't be applied to a patched 4.0.1.
