I am pleased to announce the immediate release of the version 3.11.0 of the IzPack Java installer generator.

This release will be the last one of the 3.x series, and the last one of the BerliOS area since IzPack is now a Codehaus project. The next release will indeed be IzPack 4.0.0.

It can be downloaded from our website at http://izpack.org/. Issues can be reported on our JIRA instance at Codehaus.

The complete changelog is available from http://izpack.org/history. Please note that starting from IzPack 4.0.0, we will generate release notes from JIRA, resulting in more readable informations.

In this release, many small bugs have been fixed. The look and feel libraries have been upgraded to recent versions. Many translations have been updated. The icons have been replaced with the ones from the Tango project. A uniform support for expressing conditional behavior in the installers has been implemented. Support for Windows 64bits has been added. A light test has been added so that installers can require a JDK instead of a JRE to run. XInclude-style constructs for the XML descriptors has been added. New user input validators have been added.

The documentation has been converted to Docutils. The HTML version is also available from http://izpack.org/documentation/3.11.0/.

A new subproject, called izpack-utils has been launched. It contains izpack2exe, a Windows self-extracting archive wrapper and izpack2app, a Mac OS X application bundler.

I would like to thank all the individuals and companies that have contributed to this release, things would have never been possible without you
