PortableApps.com is going full unicode.

Something else, I don't want to sound cheeky, but some small credit for all the effort and time I put into the unicode branch would have been appreciated. Sad

Sorry about that Mark. I thought I'd already done that but it looks like I hadn't. I'm out of state working remotely and supposed to be playing with my nieces and nephews at the moment.

You've been update to full Dev status which means you're listed on the Our Team page and have a Dev badge next to your name now. And I added yo to the NSIS Portable page credits.

Your work on NSIS Portable Unicode has been absolutely invaluable and is very much appreciated! Thank you. Smile

We missed it on the last round of updates. Sad I'll get it in in a revision in the near future (before 2.0 final) in NSIS, the installer and the platform, though. Thanks again for contributing! Smile
