Release notes. What’s new in version 1.4.5

 

 

 

MC# acronym was changed

 

We decided to change the meaning of acronym MC# to “Multiprocessor C#”, because it better reflects the essense of the language rather than “Master of Ceremonies#”.

 

Changes in the installers

 

Due to numerous complains in this release we decided to concentrate on the installation programs improving.

 

Windows version:

First of all, now mcsc compiler, resource manager and work node do not depend on registry keys anymore (there were some problems with installation of these keys on some computers).

The next thing is that now “Repair” functionality is working. This functionality is available in Control Panel or when you’re running installation program several times. Also we fixed bug with not complete deletion of windows services during the software uninstallation.

Now installer is adding by default the path to the “bin” folder into the system environment variable “Path”. Thus you can use utilities mcsboot, mcshalt and etc. from any folder you like just after the installation is completed.

 

Linux-version:

From now on there is no need to setup environment variables before you begin the installation (i.e. run make command). Which exactly environment variables are needed to be set up will be displayed by the installer itself at the end of the installation.

If you really need it now it is possible to disable the usage of .Net 2.0 functionalities by the Runtime System (for example, coloured console and etc.). See makefiles for more details.

 

Changes in the documentation

 

There are some changes in the User's guide and other documents, which are included in the Windows version of installation package.
