Latest progress reports
LiteStep 0.25.0 scheduled; 0.24.8 around the corner
The LSDev Team has shuffled priorities so as to get a v0.24.8 out the door sooner than later. So, Vista support has been moved back to the newly scheduled 0.25.0 release:

And the 0.24.8 release will be seeing the light of day in a few weeks:

One major item of note is that support for Win95 will be dropped with v0.25.0.

xPopup-2.0.5 and xTaskbar-2.1.6 released!
Two very small bugfix versions!
xPopup:
I have removed the superfluous xLabel dependency for !info entries.
xPopup uses now xStatsClass (as it should be).
xTaskbar:
When Grouping was enabled
AddOnlyMatching
RemoveOnlyMatching
*xTaskbarRemove
weren't working, when another task in the same group was already visible.
You can download them at www.ls-universe.info or via NetLoadModule.

xTaskbar-2.1.5 Released!
Some bugfixes and some new features.
Customizable ButtonText
You need to load xStatsClass-x.x before xTaskbar in order to use this feature!
xTaskbarNormalButtonText "TextEscapeSequence"
xTaskbarActiveButtonText "TextEscapeSequence"
xTaskbarMinimizedButtonText "TextEscapeSequence"
...
%caption% will be replaced with the "Normal Caption"
%executable% will be replaced with the "Full Application Path".
You can use anything xStatsClass can do to modify the button text.
Conditionals for OverlayButtons and OverlayTaskbars!
You need to load xStatsClass-x.x in order to use this feature!
If the Conditional Text Escape Sequence is "0" or "false", then the Overlay isn't painted, any other value and the Overlay is painted.
*xTaskbarOverlayButton 0 0 50% 50% ttt # "[ifeval(time('ss'),'<=','30')]0[else]1[endif]"
This would paint the Overlay for the last 30 seconds of every minute.
*xTaskbarOverlayButton 0 0 50% 50% ttt # "[winampstopped]"
This would paint the Overlay, if Winamp is stopped.
...
'T' flag for OverlayButtons and OverlayTaskbars
If the flag is set, then the OverlayButton is painted above the icon and text.
If the flag is set, then the OverlayTaskbar is painted above the buttons.
You can download xTaskbar-2.1.5 at www.ls-universe.info or via NetloadModule.

AcidMail-0.7
Here are the changes since version 0.6 excluding the changes I already posted with the 0.6 release. This should generally make this a much more stable and reliable build.
-Fixed some error messages which weren't working due to a typo.
-More graceful closing of connection if whole communication succeeds.
-Using getaddrinfo now instead of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr. This doesn't just make the code simpler, but now AcidMail also supports domain which have multiple homes. It will try connect to all of them untill it works.
-Made AcidMail use Winsock 2.2. This makes old win95 builds not work (who cares?) OSR2 still works.
-Put WSAStartup in main so it doesn't call winsock.dll on every connection.
-Added and changed some error messages (log messages).
-Did some cleanup/changes.
-Mailboxes now export their error number to $AcidMail<Name>Error$. (Requested by THC4k)
The error reporting system still needs some work, it should also export winsock socket error numbers and the literal responses of the server when an error happens. Once that is done and test AcidMail-0.7 will be released which will be the last version which has no secure connection support.

Tentative Theme for LiteStep.info
I've been working rather fervently lately on a design for LiteStep.info ... I've reviewed it with both Tobbe and Acidfire, they seem to like it alright. Anywho, here is a preview:

Web addresses
Not that anyone have noticed, but there used to be a bug in the script that detects website addresses and converts them in to clickable links. It used to break if you put parentheses around the link. Now it doesn't.

LOSI 0.1
New release of LOSI is out.
* It's possible to install (and uninstall) LS without rebooting or even logging off the computer.
* I've fixed the bug where you couldn't install a .lsz theme archive if the full path to it contained spaces.
* There used to be an extra !recycle in the !popup menu entry that updates the themes list. That has been removed.
* Added the posibility to not create any start menu icons.
* I've added zBM's latest french translations.
* The bug regarding registry paths and usernames that Andymon found has been fixed. It might affect installations to "Documents and Settings" as well, I have to investigate that further.
* Fixed a bug in the installer that prevented Explorer from starting as the shell.
* Fixed another bug in the Uninstaller that would make it delete a bunch of system settings from the registry when uninstalling if LS wasn't set as the shell.
Get the download at http://tlundberg.com/LOSI
