New release of the Windows installer from Thomas Heller.
The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is
extracted) is fixed.
Other changes:
- The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst
are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python
files during installation.
- The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst.
- I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate
file (extract.c).
- The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see
http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe
(and thus the overhead of the final installer program)
from 40 kB to 16 kB.
- The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like
user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo.
(I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos).
- The installation progress bar now moves correctly.1 parent 889de85 commit 018cbb1
