Release 0.9.8.10

since 0.9.8.10

Purpose

This page names what changed in Setup Foundry 0.9.8.10 compared with the previous release. Currently, every release is installed fresh.

In Settings under "Appearance", a new colour scheme first shows as a preview and is applied with "Save". The mouse wheel no longer switches the scheme.
VirtualBox can also be installed or updated from Settings after the first-time setup.
A clean-up script for test PCs (Setup-Foundry-Aufraeumen.ps1) is included with the installers. It makes a backup before deleting anything.

Windows retail ISO: editions and languages are cached for 24 hours. While loading, "Refresh" and the selection are locked, and a loading indicator shows the progress. The message "The Retail ISO query is still running" is gone.
First-time setup and Settings: prerequisites show a tick or a cross. Status lines appear only when something is missing, and the install buttons stay locked while a prerequisite is missing. Green texts and ticks in the wizard are gone.
The Hyper-V notes sit behind an (i) and appear for as long as the switch is on.
In Settings, "Apply" is highlighted when there are open changes. If you leave the page with an open change, the program asks.
"Report errors" in Settings now points to Help → Legal.
"Tested with Windows 11 26H2" appears with the Windows sources and in the About window.
The "Learn more" links lead to the documentation of the running release.
New labels: "Security settings" instead of "Baseline selection", and in the support dialog the box "I would like a reply by email."
The Install Assist page now explains what Install Assist is.
All (i) help texts have been rewritten: shorter, and limited to what the item does. The note on the Windows edition next to the sources is down to two sentences.

At 1920x1080 with 125 % scaling, the editor button on "Image and logo" could not be reached on the first visit. The preview is now smaller, and the page scrolls from the start.
After switching the virtualisation product, texts had the wrong background.
The subtitle of the Install Assist page and the box in the support dialog now wrap.

The application reports a new release but does not install it itself. Download and installation remain manual in this release.
The dialog "Licence error" after a chargeback appears only once the licence server sends the reason for the block. Until then a block stays silent until the next start, as before.
Programs that install only per user (for example JetBrains Toolbox and Signal) are currently not set up by Setup Foundry without an internet connection.
Programs delivered as zip or portable, and Windows features, are still set up by Setup Foundry only with an internet connection.
The downloaded drivers are not tested on real hardware. Whether a driver is used is decided by Windows during setup.
