Release candidate 1 of the popular win32 installer/uninstaller system NSIS 2.0 is out. NSIS 2 supports multiple languages and features an easy plugin system, while being the smallest installer available, with an overhead of only 34 KB with the default options.

This release has only minor changes from RC1, mostly language, documentation and interface fixes.

NSIS provides very advanced tools for distribution of files that not only software developers will benefit from; if you ever need to distribute a package of files via email or web, you'll love NSIS 2.0.


Changes:
* Set focus to the main control in each page to ease keyboard control (plug-ins too)
* LangStrings and user variables limit is now 16383 and is enforced
* Fixed control colors set using SetCtlColors not changing when the system colors were changed
* Log window now responds to the context menu key
* Fixed a bug which caused beeping when the space key is hit on the components tree
* Added code to prevent weird usage of WM_COMMAND which can cause weird behavior
* Fixed compile errors when NSIS_CONFIG_COMPONENTPAGE, NSIS_CONFIG_PLUGIN_SUPPORT or NSIS_SUPPORT_HWNDS are not defined
* More language files updated to the latest version
* Fixed CHM's script errors
* Documentation improvements
