Beta 6 Release

PEBakery team proudly presents PEBakery beta 6, a significant functionality and stability update.

COMPATIBILITY NOTICE - SHOULD READ FIRST

1. PEBakery now requires .Net Framework 4.7.2, to solve the dependency issue.
   • Please install .Net Framework 4.7.2 if you are not using the latest Windows 10.
2. PEBakery now applies compatibility options as per-project starting from beta 6.
   • Please follow the following instructions.

Preset for known projects

First, rename a proper setting file as PEBakeryCompat.ini.
Second, move PEBakeryCompat.ini into the project root directories, alongside with script.project.

If a build fails even after applying presets, please retry after deleting project temp directories manually.
