IzPack 4.2.0 has been released
As mentioned in the latest IzPack news, IzPack 4.2.0 has just been released!
You can get it now from our website at http://izpack.org/.
It brings the usual set of fixes, but there are some nice new features, including:
- the support of REG_EXPAND_SZ data types when interacting with the Windows registry
- the ability to plug data validators on each panel
- the ability to provide user-oriented help written in HTML for panels
- Ant-style fileset support for refpack definitions
- a new utility for generating JNLP descriptors
- the optional ability for an installer to perform a privileges elevation (i.e., run as an administrator instead of a regular user), works on Windows XP/Vista, Linux (xterm+sudo) and Mac OS X
Enjoy

The Fish shell
Do you feel like Bash is boring? ZSH complicated? Then I recommend switching to the Fish shell
This shell provides a neat colorized completion for a lot of commands:
I also hear that it has a nice functional scripting language.
To install it on Mac OS X with MacPorts:
sudo port install fish
then go to the Terminal preferences and replace Bash (or whatever you had before) with /opt/local/bin/fish.
i'm sure you'll like it!
