Please test, and report any problems here.
This is not the place for setup feature requests.
Changes compared to 2.919:
- Add perpetual support for preremove scripts (thanks to Christian Franke)
- Major update to libsolv (from 0.6.29 to 0.7.22). Fix a crash this causes.
- Allow packages to be marked as 'self-destruct'
- Add new option --no-write-registry, which inhibits recording the
installation root directory in the registry, which may be useful for
portable or temporary installs (thanks to Christian Franke)
- Various fixes around "All Users/"Just For Me" (thanks to Christian
Franke for investigating these problems)
-- Fix a long-standing bug (since 2012), where installed files are owned
by the user's primary group, rather than the Adminstrators group, when
installing for "All Users".
-- We no longer change group back to the user's primary group while
running postinstall scripts, when installing for "All Users". This was
only for the benefit of mkgroup/mkpasswd being run by the postinstall
script, which we don't do any more.
-- Fix "Just For Me" being ignored, when run with Admininstrator privileges
-- Fix "All Users" being selectable but basically ineffectual, when not
run with Admininstrator privileges
- Add view modes "Removable" and "Unneeded" (thanks to Christian Franke)
- Add Ctrl-I/R/U as keyboard accelerators for
install/reinstall/uninstall in the package chooser (thanks to Christian
Franke)
