There have been this big "restructuring" thing in the issue #100, and it's getting ready to be published. It's quite a big change, so we won't apply our usual "hope it works and hotfix if it doesn't", we'll do some more testing (and RC1 had more than 10 bugs, so we definitely needed some more testing). And you're welcome to test with us!

So, basically, the point of all this is to remove a lot of clutter from the thcrap directory, and to put it into subdirectories. It doesn't really change anything, but you'll have a lot less stuff you don't care about (and if you do care about it, it's still in the directories, look there).

How to test:

  • Clean install: just download it, unzip it, and run thcrap_configure, like with a normal release
    Or
  • Update: decompress everything in your thcrap directory, then run a game.

We're mostly interested about testing for updates. Of course clean installs have to be tested as well, but on updates, we try to update the directory structure automatically. It should work. It works on my computer. But we'd like to be sure it works for everyone. And, remember the "more than 10 bugs" from above? They were all in the update process.

One final note: this version can't update to a new version automatically. When we release a new version, you will have to install it automatically (you will have an error message talking about missing signature).

Changes since RC3:

  • Saved postupdate stuff in a log file
  • Fix one million bugs in the file moving code
  • Delete 0-byte files from an old installation
