3.1.1++

[jpm]

Can this installer for the beta possibly recoded?  Atm if you intend to install the beta you MUST first install regular autoit v3 Prior to installing the beta..why? Once installing the beta and trying to use the new features, they will FAIL, because all pointers are to the default version v3 and not the new beta.  You must manually move files from folder to folder such as AutoItSC.bin to make the beta the default engine on running the scripts you click or head into the programs menu to compile it manually from the beta folder.

Suggest an option to make the beta your default on install, including a patch to convert beta to default install, or at least instructions in the help file to tell new members how to convert your make your install use the beta features.

It is by design we choose to have beta installed only if the official release is installed. I don't see any reason to change that as beta is not an official release.

The beta menu part allow to run the beta part. If you want to toggle the default you can use the Ejoc "Toggle AU3 beta.au3" script. I think I will add it in a next beta.

It is true we can add some doc how to run the beta software. In fact as it will disapear when it become official we never thought about.

Thank you jpm I was unaware of this nice togglebeta udf including it with a one line description of how to switch over would be just great and easy for removal too. Unless we will of course have more betas

Personally, when I needed to install AutoIt, I just downloaded the official release installer, and then the zip version of the beta and extracted on top of it. I don't like a lot of the file association stuff that AutoIt sets up, so I do most of it myself.

Special disclaimer from Dev team

The handling of HWND's has been improved in this release but may have introduced bugs or regressions. Some regressions were intended, for example, the string representation of an HWND now includes a "0x" before the hex number. These changes were made to allow the support to be expanded. There have also been behavioral changes to how HWND's are processed when checked as a boolean. The changes in this area are geared to make HWND's more intuitive to use like the other (internal) data-types but make cause some scripts to break. Please report any bugs in the Bug Reports forum.

Am I just blind/stupid, or was the .a3x cut from the most recent beta releases?

[Holger]

@MSLx Fanboy: yes - this thing is known - (maybe) it will be in again the next beta version .67.

What do you mean?

you don't get it anymore ? if yes just report on bug forum.

Don't use this thread to report problem. Thanks

[MSLx Fanboy]

But not including it any more wouldn't be a bug...just yet another short feature request. If you would like, I can create another topic to put my last penny's worth of thoughts into the request...

I got it did a wrong merge assuming Jon send me the compiler with the new logo for the beta version.

I will at least put back the code working with the old logo for 3.1.1.68

[Jon]

I've deleted the source by accident

I'm currently working on new code for the compiler that has some enhancements like not storing a reversible version of the password and being in an easier format to identify the script part for AV vendors. Existing .a3x files would need to be recompiled at that point anyway - so don't go nuts with the feature

[SlimShady]

I never understood that .a3x

Is it a more secure way for compiling scripts?

When you normally compile a script you get a builtin version Autoti attached (so that compiled script is 150KB+ even for as one line program). .a3x is an autoit equivalent of .zip so it's tiny. However, you need a copy of autoit3.exe to run it.

if you still need the executable, why not use .au3?

I still don't see any advantages.
