Version 1.0.1.5

Hello.

We have released new version of our tool RAD & Installer. New version 1.0.1.5. Changes:

[+] New feature Go To File (similar to Open File at Cursor): opening included files (.nsh) from IDE with Ctrl + Click (not Ctrl + Enter!)
[+] Added new tooltips for !include "filename.nsh" elements with details and references.
[+] New Settings option Save script files before Building/Compiling the Project (default is On) for .nsi and .nsh scripts. Script files are automatically saved before Build/Compile (if invoked via Keyboard Shortcuts)[*] Removed spaces in NSIS Project Templates (Improved project creating, Increased security)[*] Default output name was changed to $safeprojectname$ (which is project name without spaces, invalid characters etc. in NSIS installers) instead of default 'setup.exe' to prevent DLL hijacking (Increased security)
[+] Enhanced Syntax Highlighting for NSIS scripts. Syntax is more colourful with many rich options, better items recognition and tweaked colors (for Light themes at this moment).
[+] Support for NSIS 3.0 (Final version - no more Beta or RC!, see changes)
[+] Support for NSIS 3.0 RC2 (see changes)
[+] Support for GI for NSIS 4.4.01 (Patka) and Graphical Installer Wizard 1.8.01 (see changes)
[+] Implemented checking for latest NSIS release and downloading updated version (can be turned On/Off in Settings dialog).[*] Fixed AV Exception on closing bds.exe when Tip of the Day (or any other) form was shown and closed prematurely[*] Sanity check for TWebBrowser component (causing issues on certain Internet Explorer configurations).
[+] Implemented Run last Build for NSIS projects. As Run (F9) or Run Without Debugging (Shift + Ctrl + F9) cannot be used for compilation (projects need to be fully Build) these keyboard shortcuts launch last succesfully built installer (if exists).

Hello.

We have released new version of RAD & Installer. Changes in 1.0.1.8:

Refactoring support for NSIS and Inno Setup (variables, symbols, functions, procedures, ...). Results are shown in Find References Window
Default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Enter (or use Context Menu). Double-clicking the result item moves the cursor to appropriate line in script file.
It is possible to copy content of Find References Window into Clipboard (as text)
Changed all NSIS icons to NSIS 3 style everywhere - also on this website and in the manual.
RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo has become the main platform for development (Pascal). Old RAD Studios are still supported! (This is only for better comfort of our developers.)
Whole GUI has been reworked. All RAD Studio versions and editions use modern style (colors, icons, forms, dialogs, ...)
MessageBox Designer now shows new line characters ($\r $\n %n #13#10) correctly in Preview dialog
Fixed issues with Administrator rights and generating hw.data and license.key file
Installer: Default installation path has been changed from C:\Program Files (x86)\RAD & Installer\ to C:\ProgramData\RAD & Installer\.
Page creator and Page leave functions (functions for custom pages used in Page or UninstPage commands) have custom icons (in Navigation Bars and Code Insight Code Completion) in NSIS scripts
NSIS Compiler now handles recursive errors correctly, errors in macros and included files or symbols, multiline errors in directives (!system, !execute, !define). Fixed processing multiline errors (commands MessageBox, CreateShortcut, ExecShell, FileSeek, InstProgressFlags, SetFileAttributes) and registry related commands (DeleteRegKey, DeleteRegValue, EnumRegKey EnumRegValue, ReadRegDWORD, ReadRegStr, WriteRegBin, WriteRegDWORD, WriteRegStr, WriteRegExpandStr). Added warning messages with correct usage of these commands
We fixed most of the issues with interfaces, but still an AV Exception may occur when closing IDE (bds.exe). Sorry for this inconvenience.

We recommend to set some IDE options Verbosity : Diagnostics, uncheck Minimize on run
[modern 10.X IDEs] Verbosity : Diagnostics, uncheck Minimize on run [modern IDEs]
to have better experience when compiling the Inno Setup or NSIS scripts:
From main menu set Tools -> Options (in tab Environment Options [or tab Compiling and Running in modern IDEs]) Verbosity - Diagnostics [Normal is enough in modern IDEs] to see the Output from compiler correctly (displayed in window Messages, tabs Build and Output)
Uncheck option Minimize on run to prevent IDE minimizing during project compilation or build (optionally you can also uncheck option Hide designers on run)
