As you could see from my recent SVN commits, I found some time to work on the installer. I fixed
some long standing bugs in my installer, see the changelog, and created a new installer version.
With this new installer version an existing LyX-installation can be easily updated without the need
of reinstalling LyX. The files modified since the last release are recorded in the file
"Updated.nsh", the removed files in the file "Deleted.nsh". The installer also works without admin
permissions, but not when LyX was previously installed as admin.
As the Update installer only ships the modified files, it is very small in comparison to the other
installer versions.
There will no Update installer for LyX 1.4.x -> LyX 1.5.0 as there are too many changes, the Update
installer will be used for my weekly SVN snapshot releases and is intended for the LyX 1.5.0 ->
1.5.1 update.
While working on the installer I also improved the code documentation and the infrastructure. For
the next release it will be possible to install LyX without admin permissions using the small
installer version. This work is still in progress. When it is finished, we'll have in my opinion the
infrastructure we need for further releases.
