Announce: ooDialog final 4.2.2 beta now available

[Mark Miesfeld]

Installation packages for a second ooDialog 4.2.2 beta are now
available on SourceForge at:

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

The second beta only has a few changes from the first package. A
small bug in the .DlgAreaU class has been fixed and the User Guide
document has had a number of typos corrected. Otherwise the second
beta package is the same as the first package.

ooDialog 4.2.2 is an enhancement release, with a large number of new
features. The Release Notes and the ReadMe file that displays on the
SourceForge download page contain a list of the bug fixes,
enhancements, and other changes in 4.2.2.

Users of ooDialog should test the beta and report bugs or other
problems through the ooRexx SourceForge tracker for bugs:

https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/

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 4.2.2 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.
