WWWinamp v4.1 Build 2793
25 August 2007This is the first version of WWWinamp v4.1 that I feel is somewhat safe for use. I’m not ready to say it will replace the current version available (4.0 Alpha 13) because this version was completely restructured as far as how the code interacts and operates internally. A lot of the HTTP Daemon was re-written and major new features, such as the WCF endpoint were added.
So I’ll just keep updates of v4.1 isolated to my little blog here until I feel it’s ready to take it’s rightful place on the front page.
There are a couple changes I think users should take note of before installing this new version of WWWinamp:
- The new .CONFIG file for storing WWWinamp configuration options
- This new file is used to store the configuration options that were previously kept within the WWWinamp.XML file. I’ve moved the options to this file as to utilize the built in Application Configuration Manager native to .NET and replace the custom XML parser I was using to load the options. This allows me better control and error handling when perhaps an invalid option is found or one is completely missing. I’ve tried to keep the configuration VALUES the same, but even so, please use caution when copying your configuration options over from the previous WWWinamp.xml file.
- The .MANIFEST file included with WWWinamp
- This file allows WWWinamp to run as Administrator in Windows Vista. It will cause Vista to prompt that WWWinamp would like to run as Administrator. I’ve left this as an optional file for now. I’ll see how you guys like it before I sign the EXE with the manifest making it permanently part of the program. If you do not like WWWinamp running as administrator, just delete the file. WWWinamp has to be running as Administrator in Windows Vista for the WCF endpoint to work.
- THE MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK 3.0 IS NOW REQUIRED
- The .NET 3.0 Framework is now required to run WWWinamp. This is due to the addition of WCF support. I’m sure users will piss and moan about this, but too bad. WCF was too sweet of an addition not to include only because some people refuse to live in the now
I’m sure you’ll find some few new things here or there to play with. Please submit any errors as you get them by simply e-Mailing me your error.log file.
Cheers!
