Compass Beta 0.9.135
Windows Installer Redesign
The Windows installer has been completely redesigned with a cleaner interface, a simpler installation process, and full Arabic right-to-left support
New Features
- One-screen installation — Accept the terms and click Install to set up Compass without administrator privileges
- Customize Installation — Choose the installation folder, create a desktop shortcut, and decide whether to launch Compass when setup finishes
- What's New panel — View Beta and Stable release notes directly inside the installer
- Automatic language detection — Follows your Windows language, with support for English, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic
- Automatic installation detection — Detects existing installations and automatically handles updates, repairs, and downgrades
Reliability Improvements
- Failed installations now explain what went wrong and provide options to retry or copy the details
- Prevents the installer from closing while files are being written, avoiding incomplete installations
- Desktop shortcuts are created by default and can be disabled through Customize Installation
Design Improvements
- Compass branding and icon throughout the installer, its window, and the uninstaller, replacing the old boat icon
- Full Arabic right-to-left layout support
- Installer interface reduced in size by approximately 3 MB
Note: You'll see the redesigned installer when installing or repairing Compass. In-app updates continue to work as usual
