Updated to 5.5 Final. See change log for information. Its more detailed this time Smile

@JohnTHaller I've changed a few things code-wise. I did some testing, but I'd like to give about a week for everyone to check this out. After the week if up if there's no outstanding issues, I'd like to launch it.

Few Notes

Just so you have them for the next release. I went through and added back in the portableapps skin and the blue and pink ones. We should keep them in there for legacy reasons. I removed the additional languages option from the installer, there's no need for it when it only saves 700k. I added back in the older languages that are incomplete... a partial Polish language (from 5.0) is better than none at all. And I fixed some typos and handling in the language switcher in the launcher.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Aww . . .

Start With the Release

For future builds, start with the released version as I also updated the installer.ini since some languages were included in the package that weren't originally in the installer.

As for the "additional options" bit, you need to think of it in terms of the user. Each decision you ask them to make is one more bit of complexity that can annoy them. In this case, is there any value in interrupting install and asking them if they want to save 700k?

Will do

Not arguing Smile You make the final releases, so you decide how everything goes out the door. Personally, I value my 700k. I can fit something else in that space. I also don't need the other languages. Not arguing anymore Smile
