I am pleased to announce the availability of IzPack 4.3.0-rc1 for testing purposes.
This is the first test version of the next major release (4.3.0) which is due 21/Apr/2009.
Lots of nice features and fixes are available in this version (see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/IZPACK/fixforversion/14763);
- NanoXML removal
- "real" console (interactive or silent) installations
- privileges escalation improvements
- bean scripting framework integration (to have custom scripts in JavaScript, Groovy, JRuby, etc)
- validators for packs
- ... and more!
There are still a few fixes / documentation JIRA issues open that will be resolved on time for the final release.
Release status
This release is intended for testing, not for production use (yet). We need as many of you to test it and report any issue you might have so that we can have a great 4.3.0 release!
