A further update to the RoastLogger to version 2.0.6 is available. I am aware that there have been too many updates to the RoastLogger in the last few months. Hopefully, this will be the last manual update to the RoastLogger you will ever have to make.
This update adds an automatic updater to the RoastLogger to make it easy, in future, to update to the latest version. The updater is easy to use and typically takes less than 20 seconds to update to the latest version. Whilst downloading and installing the latest version it copies all your user settings to the new version. It does not affect your currently installed version in any way so you can try the latest version before deleting your previous installation.
For further information or to download see the following version information and the
RoastLogger website. Version 2.0.6 16/12/2013
Added an automatic updater to the RoastLogger to make it easy, in future, to update to the latest version without affecting your currently installed version. This allows you to try the new version before deleting your previous installation.
The updater is started by clicking the menu option Help > Update RoastLogger. The updater then opens and shows the details of the last three updates to the RoastLogger:
Once you click the Update button the following actions are performed:
1. Downloads the latest version of RoastLogger.zip
2. Creates a new RoastLogger folder alongside (i.e. in the same parent folder as) your existing installation and adds the version number to the new folder name.
3. Extracts/installs the relevant files from RoastLogger.zip to the new folder.
4. Sets the executable permissions for the required files.
5. Copies all your user settings from the previous installation to the new installation.
6. Deletes the RoastLogger.zip file downloaded in 1. as it is no longer required.
The entire process typically takes less than 20 seconds to complete. Obviously internet access is required for this and you may need to adjust your firewall to allow RoastLogger access although this has not been necessary in my tests.
From version 2.0.6 the above is built into RoastLogger and you only need to select the menu option described above to use it. If you wish to use the updater to update to version 2.0.6 you can download RoastLogger-Updater.jar separately, drop it into your existing RoastLogger installation (alongside RoastLogger.jar) and double click it to run the updater.
