IzPack 4.1.1 released

On behalf of the IzPack project, I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of the version 4.1.1 of the project!

Many thanks to the developers and contributors for making this release possible!

IzPack is a one-stop solution for packaging, distributing and deploying applications.

It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, it is an alternative to native solutions such as platform-specific installers and package managers.

IzPack-generated installers only require a Java virtual machine to run.

Many companies and projects have been using IzPack over the years.

IzPack version 4.1.1 is a maintenance release to the IzPack 4.1 branch that provides useful fixes. As a consequence, we advise our users to switch to this new release.

IzPack can be downloaded from http://izpack.org/ and is a member of Codehaus (see http://codehaus.org/).
