- Added two VST plugin packs (GVST & Kjaerhus Classic).
-
Reinstated FX Chains plugin pack. Completely re-done from scratch. By me
:-)
Might be an idea to remove the old one first though (Data\settings\FXChains). - Path to VST plugins automatically configured to "App\VSTPlugins" (clean install only).
- Disabled DX plugins (not portable) & DX plugin scans (clean install only).
- Removed check for updates on startup (clean install only).
- Added a check to make sure the launcher has closed (& cleaned up) if immediately restarted. From Winamp Portable.
-
Now *path* as well as *drive* portable. Don't tell anyone up at PA Towers though...
:-)
- Removed the abilty to change the name of the app directory & program executable with the INI. If you're upgrading & the installer finds this file in your root directory, these lines will be automatically removed. Settings directory (profiles) is still *in*.
- Registry files are now more generically named (& will be automatically renamed if you're upgrading).
- REAPER license updated.
- Help file updated.
-
Hey, it's enough isn't it? Good luck studio...
:-)

3.31 Dev Test 2 (2010-02-25):
-
Desktop folder is now called "REAPER Portable Projects" (to minimize the risk of conflicts). If you're upgrading, the folder in the settings directory (default &/or custom) will be renamed automatically but if you have something *really* valuable in there you'd be wise to back it up first
:-)
- Information dialogs added if user enables 'admin only' features (firewall/file associations) on a limited account.

- Updated SWS Extension to DT4. It's now a standard PA.c online installer.
3.15 Dev Test 1 (2009-12-18):
- REAPER updated to 3.15.
- As the PA.c installer can now extract the REAPER setup file correctly, REAPER Portable is now a standard online installer. As only certain items in 'App\REAPER' are preserved, make a backup!
- $USERTYPE bug fixed (broken since 3.x DT9).
- REAPER's file associations are now *not* added by default but you can configure this with "REAPERPortable.ini". There are now two REG files in the settings directory. (Requires admin rights).
- 'Help/HTML lists (auto-generated)' were left in $TEMP. They're now backed up/removed.
-
Removed support for REAPER 2.x. Who still uses that thing?
:-)
- Data directory upgrade removed from the installer.
-
Plugins added/updated.
- LAME updated to DT4. Version number display corrected. No files/functionality changed.
- SWS Extension updated to DT3. Downloaded file is no longer saved after install. No files/functionality changed.

- Help file updated.
- Note: As there as so many changes, I'm recommending a clean install rather than a load of complex upgrade code. Just rename your current "X:\PortableApps\REAPERPortable" directory, install 3.15, run it, exit, then copy any files you need back in.
