NSIS1.2G

[Bor]

Made build_write_output check for errors on fwrite()
Fixed bug in WriteRegBin
Added IfErrors and ClearErrors, and made other instructions set the error flag.
Added user variables ($0-$9)
Added StrCpy, StrCmp, ReadRegStr, and ReadINIStr.
Added /NOCUSTOM switch for InstType
Cleaned up replace_data/find_data/get_data_offset code a bit (made it find offsets at startup, and update in place - should be more reliable).
Up to 34k now (ick) - will address soon :)
Made compiler extract appropriate icon resource from icon files (yay!)
Made compiler load bmp files for the enabled/disabled bitmaps so that it can resize/decompress if necessary. Files must still be 16 colors, though. Thanks to Ryan Geiss.

I was about to upload a new version of my program with v1.2f. Now I'll have to repackage :)
Then again, it says this version is more reliable... OK, I'll repackage.

Justin, some suggestions for future versions:
- DLL version checking. My VB project shows the api calls, but I bet you know how to do it (and won't have to use other people's code like me).
- Patch technology? It shouldn't have to be very advanced, just that it can recognize a version of a file (CRC), and patch it to a new file by moving large similar blocks around. I made something like this once, but it's in VB (and it's not very advanced - the creator is slow and inefficient, but the patcher itself is very small). It's not really needed, but it could be a nice addon in the future.

Keep up the good work, NSIS rules!

Seriously. NSIS is now starting to give most commercial installers a run for their money (if it didn't in the first place :D ). Not to mention the fact that it gets updates every few days that make it better and better. And it's free. Can't forget that.
Justin and the other boys over at Nullsoft rock.

Patching would be a great addition.

I know I'll be using NSIS for a LONG time. I'm really glad I found it and more glad that Nullsoft is so F-ING COOL.
