v0.20 available for download

[sub]

I've just uploaded the next release. You can download it from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0205.msi

There isn't really any new big flashy features in this release. Just lots of small fixes and tweaks. There is also the basis for multi-language support, which will please a few of our european friends.

You can just install this release over the last release, and it will retain most of your settings.

It looks very nice!

This mostly works, except that it doesn't remember the settings in the quality recoding profiles... Otherwise, it's very nice to see that it saves the information about the programs that has been recorded now!

Thats why I said at the top of my post 'it will retain most of your setting'. There is a few things that arnt kept:
- quality setting chanes
- MAC address specific MVP settings
- *some* plugin settings

The majority of settings are kept, and will overall make installing new versions much easier.

sure, I just thought it was something that was missing in this version but might be corrected for the next upgrade...

[sub]

Maybe. I havn't really decided if I will do this yet.

So if I'm still running .18 (which I am, after reading all the problems with .19) and I go up to .20 it should keep everything in my recorded list now, is that correct?

[sub]

No it wont help you I'm affraid. I changed from installshield to wise installer at v0.19. Everything from v0.19 up will support this upgradibility with this and future versions.

Ah ok, well I'll have to hold off a bit until I clean out my recorded list a bit, it's pretty big at the moment
