Cobra 2009-06-09

The latest and greatest. Check the timeline if you need details now. There will be a monthly update later.

As previously mentioned, there is a bug in Novell Mono 2.2 that prevents Cobra from working on it. If you are using Novell Mono, please use 2.4, 2.0 or 1.9.

Also please test this out and let me know the results here. Thanks.

It compiles and installs perfectly on my Windows + TortoiseSVN setup. Thank you.

Hi,
It installs, compiles and works also on my Windows using SciTe. Thank you.

[Charles]

Thanks.

I haven't tried this release yet, but I was wondering if you'd like me to make a Windows Installer for it (msi). I saw that ticket open a couple of weeks ago and downloaded the Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset. I played around with it just enough to be able to make a basic installer that would work for now. After that I search the forum and found this post http://cobra-language.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=359&p=2146&#p2146. I think the tool he was going to try is probably better than what I used. I don't want to undercut Caligari, but I thought I'd throw the offer out there. We can switch to Caligari's solution (if/when it is ready) next time if you'd like me to make an msi file for this release.

[Charles]

Yeah I think an .msi would be nice. Caligari can speak up now if he has any additional progress to report. If not, I would proceed as you like.

[eric.sellon]

Ok. I've got the msi file created, but it's over 256 KB, so I can't attach it on the forum or the wiki. Please let me know the best way to get it to you.

[Caligari]

Just to chime in a few days late...

I've been away on holidays, and I've memory swapped since I grabbed the MSI making stuff, so please do go ahead and make an installer (as you have). If there is something the other tool can do better, I might get back to it, but having an installer now would be great.
