  • v3.3.1 Changes

    February 09, 2017

    🛠 Fixes to the CI system to produce 32-bit executables and installer packages.

  • v3.3.0 Changes

    January 04, 2017

    ➕ Added

    • 💻 It is now possible to append command line arguments to the executable to create a self-installing binary that automatically installs the given package list.

    🔄 Changed

    • just-install won't automatically load just-install.json from the current directory anymore. Use the -r, --registry command line flag to specify an alternate path.

  • v3.2.0 Changes

    October 28, 2016

    🔄 Changed

    • Reliability improvements.

  • v3.1.0 Changes

    September 06, 2015

    ➕ Addded

    • ➕ Add a --download-only command line switch to download installers without installing them.

    🔄 Changed

    • We now download the registry and all installers under %TEMP%\just-install.

  • v3.0.0 Changes

    July 25, 2015

    💥 Breaking Changes

    • Due to changes in the MSI authoring tool, uninstall the old version of just-install before upgrading by running msiexec /x {CEB24764-4726-4E3D-A66B-BE75ABAC4CD8} /qn
    • 🔄 Changed the format of the registry file which is now documented and validated through the use of JSON schema. The way variable expansion is done was also changed with this release and we invite you to give a look at the new [just-install.json](just-install.json) file for an example of the new syntax.
    • We now create shims under %SystemDrive%\Shims. The old path (%SystemDrive%\just-install) won't be migrated automatically so that your old shims will still work with your actual setup. We display a prominent warning until you remove the old %SystemDrive%\just-install directory. You can safely copy your old shims to their new place without having to regenerate them.
    • ⚡️ The checklinks and self-update actions have been removed.

    ➕ Added

    • 👀 It is now possible to specify per-architecture install options. See the perl entry as an example.

    🔄 Changed

    • Switched from AdvancedInstaller back to WiX as the tool used to generate just-install's MSI package. This will probably cause just-install to appear twice in "Add/Remove programs" for some users.
    • ⚡️ The registry is automatically updated if the locally cached copy is more than 24 hours old, which means that, in most cases, you don't have to manually run just-install update anymore.

    🛠 Fixed

    • The devious owners of amd.com, codeplex.com and java.oracle.com put some lame safeguards against hot-linking, which broke downloads from said websites. We have implemented some workarounds to get downloads working again.

  • v2.3.1 Changes

    February 03, 2015

    🔄 Changed

    • Architecture detection now uses the %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variable to determine whether Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit capable. This should also fix a problem where just-install failed to start on 32-bit platforms.
    • The ${version} variable is now expanded also during shim creation.

  • v2.3.0 Changes

    December 07, 2014

    ➕ Added

    • ✅ A new testing infrastructure now ensures that all installers are still reachable after each commit.

    🔄 Changed

    • ⬆️ Prompt users to upgrade in case the registry file format has changed in a non-backward-compatible way.
    • Shim executables are now created using exeproxy, which replaces the old "mklink" way. You may want to refresh the shims by calling "just-install -s [pkg...]"

  • v2.2.0 Changes

    September 21, 2014

    ➕ Added

    • ➕ Added a new extension registry option to specify a custom extension to be appended to downloaded files.
    • The %ProgramFiles% and %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variables get normalized at startup according to the scheme described in bug #47
    • 🏁 Some executables are symlinked to %SystemDrive%\just-install (only on Windows Vista and later).
    • ➕ Added a new command-line -s switch to force regeneration of shim executables without having to re-install the program again. E.g.: just-install -s mercurial.

    🔄 Changed

    • 📦 just-install now comes as an MSI package.
    • ⚡️ just-install self-update is now an alias for just-install -f just-install.
    • Installers and executables in general are now launched directly instead of going through the shell.
    • just-install now honors registry entries not having the installer as first argument for entries of "custom" type.

    ✂ Removed

    • just-install will no longer try to copy itself to %WinDir%.

  • v2.1.0 Changes

    August 22, 2014

    ➕ Added

    • ➕ Add support for wrapped installers (e.g. MSI file in a ZIP container). To see how to use this feature check out the "colemak" and "smartkey" entries from the registry.
    • ➕ Add support for extracting ZIP files to an arbitrary location on disk. To see how this feature works, see the "depends" and "sysinternals" entries from the registry.

    🛠 Fixed

    • Now honoring the "arguments" array for "custom" installers.
    • 📜 Just-Install exits with an error if it fails to parse the registry.

  • v2.0.1 Changes

    August 12, 2014
    • Embedded manifest to require elevation.
    • Embedded the icon in the executable again.
