WUU 1.7

[edit] WUU 1.7

WUU 1.7 is the current beta version, and will eventually turn into 1.8 stable.

The current stable version of WUU is 1.6

Improved the Addon Edit dialog
Improved the Preferences dialog
Added automatic dependency check, with (hopefully) fully automatic resolving of missing addons

Site added: DeadlyBossMods.com
Initial installs will try to guess a bit before querying user for location of WoW path on startup (i.e. "I see you have World of Warcraft in C:\Program files\World of Warcraft. Use WUU with this installation?")
Added link to fish.wowace.com to update report
Added TOC interface version to the main UI
Added addon version to the "install from WoWAce" dialog - also in "from CosmosUI" in r560
Added addon category to the "install from WoWAce" dialog - also in "from CosmosUI" in r560
Changed CosmosUI version format, all old addons will require new update

These are changes that aren't visible to the users in daily use, but will result in (hopefully) a more stable, faster WUU

Dialog code has been moved to a separate module for greater ease of maintenance
Web pages are now cached in memory for a short while, making multiple updates less painful

These are changes that either are drafted to appear in 1.7, or have already been implemented, but not rolled into the SVN trunk yet

Refactor main UI for better cross-platform compatability
"Advanced Restore" - the ability to go back to any previous version if the file can be grabbed from somewhere

Based on forum posts/source forge/emails/etc. - in no particular order

Detect unused libraries, with an option to delete them
Better 64-bit OS support
Version numbers in "Install from WoWAce/Cosmos" window
Make SVN modules adhere to the no-ext setting (--ignore-externals)
Detect unused addons (via AddOns.txt), with an option to delete them
Detect severely outdated addons, with an option to delete them
Make dependencies in side panel clickable, to move list directly to them
git addon site support
Option to set a specific archive type to extract with 7zip, if available (to "fix" the RAR bug mentioned below)
Addition of new Windows installer for more "native" user experience installing and uninstalling app (using Inno Setup)
(possible?) Migrate from threaded functions to asynchronous networking (e.g. Python's Twisted framework)

Depending on whether the CoralCDN network is up and running, the app can appear to lock up during an upgrade process.
Does not extract all RAR files correctly
~~Crashes on startup with no error message, if the WoW directory in the settings file doesn't exist~~ fixed in r560
~~CosmosUI site regexps/handling needs updating~~ fixed in r560
