Quote:

NSIS 2.29 is released. The most notable addition in this release is nsDialogs -
a faster and far more capable replacement for InstallOptions. It allows
creating controls of any type directly from the script and removes the need to
mess with slow INI files. It integrates directly into the script by calling
functions for notification, including change notification for edit boxes. This
release also includes the usual assortment of bug fixes and improvements.

Changes:

Site is automatically updated by the release script and works fine for me. Just refresh whatever cache that's in the way.

is there an nsDialogs readme somewhere or do I have to read the source code and understand how the thing works before i can actually use it?

Currently, there are only the examples. Would be nice if someone can help with the documentation. If not, I'll whip something up for the next version.

Wow, I just started learning how to use NSIS three days ago, and now there's a new version along with a new way to create custom dialogs! Sweet! (I thought InstallOptions was a little confusing to use.)

Examples folder in NSIS, then nsDialogs folder.
