 WarpIn 0.9.5 out!  2000-10-08
WarpIN 0.9.5 is out now. This version fixes a few more bugs and adds more online help to make it more user-friendly. Besides, I have greatly optimized the code to reduce the size of the executables. Get it from OS/2.org.

 WarpIN 0.9.4 released  2000-08-20
WarpIN 0.9.4 is out now. This is still a developer's release, even though more bugs have been fixed. Help has finally been added, and you can create executables from WPI files.

About WarpIN Installer

WarpIN is intended to become the new general-purpose installer for OS/2 to overcome the current lack of a both flexible and user-friendly installer. This thing is available to any programmer, commercial, shareware, freeware or GPL, for free use, even though WarpIN itself is released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). Since the GPL does not restrict usage, and "usage" with WarpIN is creating and installing archives, you can use it to distribute anything you like.
WarpIN has full support for system configuration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS classes, WPS objects) and can fully undo all the changes to your system again. It can also do package dependencies and execute external programs for system configuration after install (aka user exits). Built in REXX support is also available!

WarpIN is a OS/2 Netlabs project started in a joint development effort by Jens Bäckman and Ulrich Möller. By now more programmers have joined, so WarpIN is improving at rapid speed.

The concept is to install WarpIN once and never remove it again. WarpIN is to become an integral part of the operating system, maintaining a global database of installed packages and therefore being able to de-install everything that has ever been installed without leaving any trace. This also has the advantage that users don't have to download an installer for every package, which should reduce package sizes.
