- Fixed: now correctly disables mods that have [ as the first character in the mod name
|
In earlier versions, mods with names starting with [, for example "[My Mod] Name of mod", would not be disabled correctly by JSGME. Presumably a problem affecting only very few people, for I was only alerted to it earlier this year, seven years after initial release. But, a problem it was, so it needed to be fixed (even though the workaround was very simple).
If you don't have mods starting with [, then you won't notice any difference.
However, as the enabling/disabling code has been changed, I decided that it would be prudent to ask all users to disable ALL mods before installing v2.6 in order to minimise the
potential for problems.

- Added: new enhanced game file compare feature
- Changed: snapshot/compare feature now based on MD5 sums, not date stamps

Not critical, just some improvements to the file compare feature for those who use it. The comparison is now presented in a dialog box where users can scroll through or sort for easier analysis.
Using MD5 sums to compare files now means more accuracy over the previous time stamp only method, which was only ever meant to be temporary...it just took me a few years to update it to something more robust.
Besides the above, one or two people have stated that v2.5 has a problem with removing new folders that neither v2.4 or v2.6 has. I haven't been able to replicate the problem on my XP or Win7 installs, so this may be limited to certain system configurations (IIRC the users were running XP SP3). As no-one has reported this problem with v2.6, I strongly encourage all users to upgrade as soon as practical...but there will be no issue if people prefer to wait until they finish their current career or whatever.
