Changes for version 6.74

  1. The TWAPI extension included in freeWrap has been updated to version 4.5.2.
  2. Fixed a bug with the ::freewrap::makeZIP command where previous arguments to the command were included in the command line if the previous command line had more arguments than the new one.
  3. Fixed a bug with the ::freewrap::makeZIP command. The return value when the command fails is now properly cleared of the previous results.

    file system.

Changes for version 6.63

  1. Wrapping across operating systems has been corrected:
    1. between 32-bit and 64-bit Linux
    2. from Windows to Linux
  2. Temporary file names used by freeWrap during the wrapping process have been modified to prevent possible collision with existing file names. This will prevent the possibility of overwriting of an existing file during wrapping.
  3. The ::freewrap::makeZIP command can now be used more than once. Previously, the first usage of the command worked while subsequent use failed with an error.
  4. Options have been added to the freeWrap command line that allow the user to control the amount of compression performed on the wrapped files. See the freeWrap documentation for details.
  5. The tcllib package included in freeWrap has been updated to version 1.16 and is located at the virtual directory of /tcllib1.16.
  6. The -i option can now be used to change the program icon when performing a cross-wrap with the -w option.
