Release 0.9.8.11 ​

since 0.9.8.11

Purpose ​

This page names what changed in Setup Foundry 0.9.8.11 compared with the previous release. Currently, every release is installed fresh.

Notes ​

New ​

  • The PC model in the answer file now consists of "Setup Foundry PC", the edition in capitals and the release, for example "Setup Foundry PC - PRO - 0.9.8.11". A model you entered yourself stays unchanged.
  • In the beta, the tick for the driver problem cards on the media page is set from the start, as long as you have not made a choice of your own.

Changed ​

  • The Install Assist warning card before erasing is shorter: three points instead of five. A new line names drives that were not detected, and the confirmation box now reads "I have read the warning and want to proceed with the erasure."
  • The hint texts on sections (clean-up, naming scheme, update check, preview, licence window, script import, driver problem cards) are shorter and say only what the item does. The hints on the licence of the Windows edition and on the driver problem cards now consist of two sentences.
  • The hint at the aspect-ratio strip of the preview explains the variants for differently shaped screens; the positioning applies to all of them alike.
  • The error message when saving the security settings and the hint in the wizard use the term "Security settings".
  • The version notice is never lowered to an older release, and its link follows the stored release.
  • The app link in the support details of the answer file leads to the Setup Foundry home page.
  • On the virtualisation page and in Settings, the last green ticks and lines are gone. Errors stay red, partial results yellow.
  • On the "Tools & prerequisites" page of the wizard and in Settings, the hints on the Hyper-V switches now appear only in the (i). The extra text boxes below them and the empty space for switched-off items are gone.
  • The first-time setup wizard now always opens centred in the work area, no longer under the taskbar.
  • The warning about an outdated backup appears in the colour scheme of the application instead of as a white Windows dialog.
  • From a driver problem card package, only the files that the driver file (INF) itself names are placed on the medium, together with its catalogue; a driver file without a valid, matching catalogue is rejected.
  • In the first-time setup wizard, "Report errors (optional)" now carries a short sentence saying what is sent, to whom and why; the details are in the (i).
  • The hints on the wizard page "Work folder" are now in the (i); the space required stays visible.
  • The "Tools & prerequisites" page no longer asks for administrator rights during the wizard; group and access rights for Hyper-V are granted when finishing, with a notice before the prompt.
  • On the Install Assist page "Design", a choice applies at once; the Save button and switching with the mouse wheel are gone.
  • The licence window shows the licence number masked (first block visible); "Show number" shows it in full, and the About dialog always shows it masked.

Fixed ​

  • The scroll bar also appears when a page only grows longer after it is shown.
  • On the "Tools & prerequisites" page of the wizard, the lines now wrap at the real width and are no longer cut off at the right edge at 1024 pixels wide.
  • The "Refresh" button on the USB card is no longer cut off in a narrow window; the card text shortens instead.
  • In the info tips (i), the last letter of the widest line is no longer missing.
  • If mounting an image fails, Setup Foundry first cleans up its own stale mounts and tries once more.
  • The Office configuration is recreated quietly when needed, instead of cancelling the Office download because of a missing or damaged file.
  • The Install Assist design stayed changed after leaving the page, even without saving.

Known limitations ​

  • 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.
