Announce: The official release of ooDialog version 4.2.2 is now available on SourceForge

[Mark Miesfeld]

Installation packages for ooDialog version 4.2.2 are now available on
SourceForge at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooDialog/4.2.2/

This is the official release of ooDialog 4.2.2.

ooDialog 4.2.2 is mostly an enhancement release. The ReadMe file that
displays on the SourceForge download page contains a list of the bug
fixes and enhancements in 4.2.2. In addition the ooDialog reference
manual, in chapter 1, Brief Overview, section 1.5 Current Release
contains a complete discussion of the changes in ooDialog 4.2.2 from
ooDialog 4.2.1.

4.2.2 has a large number of new features. It contains the
implementations of Request For Enhancements that were submitted to the
project on SourceForge. Users of ooDialog are encouraged to submit
requests for features or enhancements they would like to see in
ooDialog using the Request for Enhancement tracker at:

https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/feature-requests/?source=navbar

There are currently no known bugs in ooDialog. Anyone suspecting they

Beginning with the release of ooDialog 4.2.0, the installation of
ooDialog has been decoupled from the interpreter. ooDialog 4.2.2
installs over the top of any ooRexx installation. It replaces the
version of ooDialog in the ooRexx installation with ooDialog 4.2.2.

This type of ooDialog installation is called an "independent" ooDialog
installation to indicate the ooDialog installation is independent of
an ooRexx installation and, to a degree, the version of ooRexx
installed.

ooDialog 4.2.1 requires a minimum ooRexx version of 4.1.0 to be
installed on the target computer.

Installation is simple, done through a typical Windows installer.
Pick the installation package that matches the bitness of the ooRexx
installation. I.e., a 32-bit package for a 32-bit ooRexx and a 64-bit
package for a 64-bit ooRexx. Note that the bitness of the operating
system is not relevant here. If you have installed a 32-bit ooRexx on
a Windows 64-bit system, you must install a 32-bit ooDialog.

The installer will detect the installed ooRexx, location, and
version. If the ooRexx version is less than 4.1.0, or if there is no
installed ooRexx, the installer will abort with a message explaining
the problem. Otherwise the installer will replace the current
ooDialog with ooDialog 4.2.2.
