<p><a name="6.1.0"></a><span class="ver">6.1.0-dev </span><span class="date">(?)</span></p>
<p><span class="head2">Per-user fonts</span></p>
<p>Per-user fonts are now supported if Setup is running on Windows 10 Version 1803 and later:</p>
<ul>
<li>[Files] section parameter <tt>FontInstall</tt> can now be used in <a href="https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=admininstallmode">non administrative installs</a>. Requires Windows 10 Version 1803 or later to successfully install a font.</li>
<li>The <tt>{fonts}</tt> constant has been renamed to <tt>{commonfonts}</tt>. The old name is still supported, but it is recommended to update your scripts to the new names and the compiler will issue a warning if you don't.</tt>
<li>Added new <tt>{userfonts}</tt> constant. Only Windows 10 Version 1803 and later supports <tt>{userfonts}</tt>. Same directory as <tt>{localappdata}\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts</tt>.</li>
<li>Added new <tt>{autofonts}</tt> constant which automatically maps to <tt>{commonfonts}</tt> unless the installation is running in non administrative install mode, in which case it maps to <tt>{userfonts}</tt>. It is recommended to update your scripts to use <tt>{autofonts}</tt> as much as possible to avoid mistakes.</li>
<li>Updated all examples to use <tt>{autofonts}</tt> instead of <tt>{fonts}</tt>.</li>
<li>Pascal Scripting change: The <tt>UnregisterFont</tt> support function now has an extra parameter.</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="head2">Compiler IDE updates</span></p>
<p>Various improvements have been made to the Compiler IDE:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://i.imgur.com/wHoJ3FG.png">Improved highlighting</a> for the [CustomMessages] and [Messages] sections.</li>
<li>Added new <a href="https://i.imgur.com/c9wGM3M.png">MessageBox Designer</a> menu item to the Tools menu to design and insert MsgBox or TaskDialogMsgBox calls for the [Code] section.</li>
<li>Added buttons to the Welcome dialog to <a href="https://jrsoftware.org/isdonate.php">Donate</a> to support Inno Setup (Thank you!) and to <a href="https://jrsoftware.org/ismail.php">Subscribe</a> to the Inno Setup Mailing List to be notified by e-mail of new Inno Setup releases.</li>
<li>The Run Parameters dialog now shows a list of most recently used parameters.</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="head2">Built-in download support for [Code]</span></p>
<p>Pascal Scripting now supports downloading files and checking SHA-256 hashes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Added new <tt>DownloadTemporaryFile</tt> support function to download files without using a third-party tool:
<ul>
<li>Supports HTTPS (but not expired or self-signed certificates) and HTTP.</li>
<li>Redirects are automatically followed and proxy settings are automatically used.</li>
<li>Safe to use from services unlike existing third-party tools.</li>
<li>Supports SHA-256 hash checking of the downloaded file.</li>
<li>Supports basic authentication.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added new <tt>CreateDownloadPage</tt> support function to easily <a href="https://i.imgur.com/deliPb8.png">show the download progress</a> to the user. See the new <i><a href="https://jrsoftware.github.io/issrc/Examples/CodeDownloadFiles.iss">CodeDownloadFiles.iss</a></i> example script for an example.</li>
<li>Added new <tt>DownloadTemporaryFileSize</tt> support function to get the size of a file without downloading it.</li>
<li>Added new <tt>GetSHA256OfFile</tt>, <tt>GetSHA256OfString</tt>, and <tt>GetSHA256OfUnicodeString</tt> support functions to calculate SHA-256 hashes.</li>
<li><b>Change in default behavior:</b> Setup no longer disables itself entirely while <tt>PrepareToInstall</tt> is running. Instead only the Cancel button is disabled.</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="head2">Inno Setup Preprocessor (ISPP) updates</span></p>
<p>ISPP now uses 64-bit integers and has new functions to more easily compare version numbers:</p>
<ul>
<li>ISPP's <tt>int</tt> type is now a signed 64-bit integer type.</tt>
<li>Support function <tt>FileSize</tt> now supports 64-bit file sizes.</li>
<li>Added new <tt>PackVersionComponents</tt>, <tt>UnpackVersionComponents</tt>, and <tt>ParseVersionPacked</tt> support functions.</li>
</ul>
<p>Similar Pascal Scripting changes have been done:</p>
<ul>
<li>Added new <tt>FileSize64</tt> support function.</li>
<li>Added new <tt>PackVersionNumbers</tt>, <tt>PackVersionComponents</tt>, <tt>UnpackVersionNumbers</tt>, <tt>UnpackVersionComponents</tt>, and <tt>VersionToStr</tt> support functions.</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="head2">Other changes</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Added new [Run] and [UninstallRun] sections flag: <tt>dontlogparameters</tt>. If this flag is specified, the command line parameters for the program will not be included in the log file.</li>
<li>Added new [Icons] section parameter: <tt>AppUserModelToastActivatorCLSID</tt>. Specifies the Windows 10 Application User Model Toast Activator CLSID for the shortcut. Ignored on earlier Windows versions.</li>
<li>Setup's prompts to overwrite or keep existing files have been made more user friendly:
<ul>
<li>Setup now shows <a href="https://i.imgur.com/AnF6qo8.png">more user friendly prompts</a> to overwrite or keep existing files if the <tt>confirmoverwrite</tt> flag is set.</li>
<li>Setup now shows <a href="https://i.imgur.com/VBDuZ7U.png">more user friendly prompts</a> to keep or overwrite existing files if the <tt>promptifolder</tt> flag is set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Pascal Scripting changes:
<ul>
<li>Added new <tt>CalculateButtonWidth</tt> function to the <tt>TSetupForm</tt> support class.</li>
<li>The <tt>ACaption</tt> and <tt>ADescription</tt> parameters of the various <tt>Create...Page</tt> support functions may now specify Setup messages containing shorthands like <tt>[name]</tt>.</li>
<li><i>Fix:</i> Support function <tt>WizardSelectComponents</tt> now also updates component sizes and the current selection's required disk space.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Console-mode compiler (ISCC) change: Warnings and errors are now <a href="https://i.imgur.com/9VvbFGJ.png">colorized</a>.</li>
<li>Minor tweaks.</li>
