Personally, I think, weekly Releases are just fine. Leaves some "spice" left like "what have they done next?" ;)

About the rest, that´s all info I can´t really do much with... but thanks anyway :)

Cheers, Markus

James, it is great news! Continuous Integration is already in the yard! I hated to upload RunActivity.exe to svn. ;) Will it be also possible to avoid uploading Revision.txt?

Yes, we shouldn't need anything in "Program" any more. I haven't tried going full-source just yet though. ;)

Be great if you could. This is what I have started doing.


And we've made it!

Although I didn't get to Chris in time to stop him manually doing this week's experimental release, I have now completed the first automated run of this process too. You can download the shiny signed builds from the usual place. In fact, apart from being signed, the only real difference is that the date format for the last release has changed slightly. Everything else should be the same, but do let me know if anything's amiss.

All future weekly experimental releases should happen automatically at 6pm UK time on Friday, with the whole process completing by itself in 5-6 minutes (mostly spent uploading to the website).

James, all files in the root directory of the current download, except "Copying.txt", are different from those I downloaded an hour or so ago.

The automated process builds and signs all executable files itself (rather than reusing the ones currently in Subversion), so they are expected to not be physically identical. File comparisons are useless when it comes to compiled (and especially signed) code, unfortunately. They should be very similar sizes (but quite possibly also not exactly the same) and should behave the same. The originals are probably 'debug' builds, though, where as the new ones are 'release' (exactly like the others on my website), so one or two things might intentionally be different.
