Siginet heeft de final release van RVM Integrator 1.6 uitgebracht. Dit programma is bedoeld om op een eenvoudige manier de Update Packs van Ryan Vandermeulen plus andere extra's te integreren in een Windows-installatie-cd. Op die manier kan een aangepaste installatie-cd worden gecreëerd met bijvoorbeeld extra drivers en met de laatste updates van Microsoft alvast geintegreerd. Versie 1.6 is al sinds juni van het afgelopen jaar in ontwikkeling en er gingen maar liefst 21 bètareleases aan vooraf. Om het programma te kunnen downloaden is een gratis registratie op het Siginet-forum nodig, maar voor het gemak hebben we op de Tweakers.net-server een mirror aangemaakt van het programma en het Nederlandse taalbestand. Hieronder is te vinden wat er sinds de laatse bèta veranderd is:
Changes in version 1.6:
- "Optimize System Files Now" changes:
- (bug 5) - An audio signal (SystemAsterisk) is sent to the user upon completion.
- (bug 6) - Should now work for x64 and Itanium sources in addition to x86 sources.
- "Browse for Folder" window is now resizable.
- Additional logging.
- "Use Cached driver.cab" changes:
- (bug 8) - Now distinguishes between 18 different OS types instead of just "Home", "Pro" and "2k3"; not including service pack levels which bumps the possible variants to 64.
- This enhancement should allow for addons and update packs that are more flexible in the future.
- This is a bugfix for those who want to cache driver.cab for both the x86 and x64 varieties XP Pro SP2.
- As a consequence, unless you use the workarounds below, this will invalidate all cached driver.cab files created by previous versions of the Integrator. Sorry.
- Workarounds to preserve your caches in ".\Plugins\CACHED\":
- "HomeSP?" should be renamed "icSP?", where "?" is the service pack level.
- "ProSP3" should be renamed "ipSP3".
- "ProSP2" for XP x86 should be renamed "ipSP2".
- "ProSP2" for XP x64 should be renamed "apSP2".
- "2k3SP?" should be deleted. Too many possibilities exist to properly advise.
- Fixed code responsible for recording Name and Version information in DriverCab.ini.
- Should now recognize INF files from all update packs known to me. Would previously only read RVMUpPck.inf.
- Removed quadruplicate code.
- When RVMi acts upon a [FileCopy] directive, it now writes "Copying Files Found In..." instead of "Moving Files Found In..." to the log.
- Reorganized log startup and shutdown InfoStrings for clarity.
