 L.S.,

From now on every night at 23:30CET a new installer package is generated and uploaded to the community website:

1. This ONLY occurs if any changes were made to the SVN.

2. The URL to the zip files has unfortunately some spaces in there, because of the way the website displays the categories
  - unstable (will become 2.0 real soon): http://www.xerte.org.uk/jdownloads/Xerte%20Online%20Toolkits/xertetoolkits_unstable.zip
  - latest 1.91: http://www.xerte.org.uk/jdownloads/Xerte%20Online%20Toolkits/xertetoolkits_1.91.zip

3. To help you give some automatic feedback about the last changes to the file, an automatic CHANGELOG is added in the .zip file, and an HTML version of that file is posted on the community website. The changelog is automatically generated from the SVN logs.
 - unstable (will become 2.0 real soon): http://www.xerte.org.uk/xertetoolkits_unstable_ChangeLog.html
 - latest 1.91 : http://www.xerte.org.uk/xertetoolkits_1.91_ChangeLog.html

4. In order to be able to put a date on the website I also provide a small png with a transparent background and black text with the date of creation of the last file:
 -unstable (will become 2.0 real soon): http://www.xerte.org.uk/xertetoolkits_unstable_last_updated.png
 - latest 1.91 : http://www.xerte.org.uk/xertetoolkits_1.91_last_updated.png

5. IMPORTANT!!

The stable versions of the svn are supposed to be self contained, i.e. I do not copy between the Xerte2 repository and the xot repository.
For the unstable daily build I DO copy files from the Xerte2 repository to the Xot repository. At the moment these are:


 *   runtime/XMLEngine.swf -> root
 *   runtime/languages/engine* -> languages
 *   runtime/publish/common/MainPreloader.swf
 *   runtime/pages/wizards/en-GB/template.xwd -> modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/wizards/en-GB/data.xwd
 *   runtime/pages/template.rlt -> modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/Nottingham.rlt
 *   /runtime/pages/models/*  -> modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/models
 *   runtime/tools/wizard.swf ->  modules/xerte/engine
 *   runtime/tools/wizard.swf ->  modules/site/engine
 *   runtime/languages/wizard* -> languages

PLEASE let me know if you think this is NOT correct.

Hope this works out.

Tom
