F.12 3.0 Alpha 0
Released on May 19th, 2013
F.12.1 Release Notes
- MakeNSIS can now generate ANSI and Unicode installers. Source files can be UTF8SIG, UTF16BOM or traditional MBCS text files (which are converted to Unicode with ACP unless you specify a different codepage). The default plugins are now stored in sub-folders based on their CPU target and character set encoding.
F.12.1.1 Known Issues
- The POSIX build is currently broken
- LangDLL doesn't display localized language name with Unicode false
- FileRead may return '?' for MBCS letters with Unicode true
