History / Building an Installer

Revisions

  • Title the pages and their headings in title case Every page's title, which is also its title on the website, its headings, and the sidebar are in title case, as the app's screens now are: articles, short conjunctions, and prepositions of four letters or fewer stay lower case unless first or last. Code names such as egui and the crate names keep their case. Anchors are lower case either way, so no link changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

  • Quote the screens as they now read, in title case The app's titles, card headings, labels, buttons, pills, metrics, and option names are now in title case, so the pages name them as the screens do: the User Data option, Create Installer, Look Again, Preview Changes, the network steps, the installer's kinds of change, and the rest. Prose that only uses the words, and the pages' own headings, stay as they were. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

  • Describe disk images and apps from Windows 7 Add the Disk image… scan source and what the next release does for a drive or image from Windows 7, Vista, 8 or 8.1: which Windows it is, VirtualStore settings, 32-bit Windows, the DirectX End-User Runtime, DLLs Windows 11 lacks, shortcuts written with a variable, what does not work, and the hand-run Windows 7 lab. Marked as next release, not 0.5.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
