[StrongED] Transient 2.04 available



Hi All,

Transient 2.04 is now available for download from:
http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/fjg/zips/transient.zip

The main changes in this release are in the way auto-expiry works.
Transient now warns when it's about to remove dirs that are older
than expected (ie the age is beyond what would be expected from the
expiry settings). This is intended to catch the clock having gone
wrong for some reason, the Iyonix bug at the start of this year
shows that this is not just a hypothetical case.

This release is identical to the 2.04 beta released earlier this year
(apart from a change to the Installation window and some minor changes
in the coding) as no bugs have been reported against 2.04b.

Again a debt of gratitude is owed to Tony for all his help.


Changes from Transient 2.04b
============================

 - Added a link in the Installation window to the StrongHelp manual.


Changes from Transient 2.03
===========================

 - Checks if everything is installed on startup and offers to install
   missing bits.
 - Only warns about expiry if there actually are non-empty directories
   to expire.
 - A warning can be set if directories to expire are much older than
   expected.
 - Expiry of empty directories is now configurable instead of automatic.
 - System variable Transient$TodayLeaf holds name of current Today dir.


Future plans
============

 - Add support for interactive help
 - Add the ability to expire all users at once
 - Remove support to keep old comments in Choices file
 - Changes such that it can be used early on in the boot sequence


As always all feedback is welcome.

Cheers,

Fred.
