BETA Plugins updated

The Beta plugins have been updated. The plugins based on OpenSSL don't require a seperate libeay32.dll any more.

Unless I get feedback to the contrary I'm thinking that the ARC4 and AESV2 plugins might make "production" status soon.

None of your new plugins, beta or non-beta, are unzippable with the included unzipper in Windows XP. I don't want to download WinZip, though it'll probably work there.

"File skipped unknown compression method"

Just wanted to give you a heads up. Hopefully you can revert back to the way you did it in the past to make it easier for us

Thanx for the great plugins btw!

Interesting.... I'm using 7Zip because it has a free command-line version. I chose some agressive compression options. I tested it with WinZip. I didn't test it with XP's compession but I'll try some more conservative options and see if XP likes it.

Ok,

Confirmed and corrected. I uploaded new zip files. For those who care, the difference was this:

7z a -tzip src.zip * -mx=9 -mpass=4 -mfb=64 -mm=Deflate64

7z a -tzip src.zip * -mx=9 -mpass=4 -mfb=64

Guess XP doesn't like Deflate64. Didn't make much of a difference anyway.

I like the fact that 7Zip is free, GPL, and has a command-line version I can use for scripting. I had been using RAR for scripting situations in the past but nobody uses RAR files. Everybody know ZIP.

FYI,

I recently (last week) wrote a series of scripts to automate the version number and creating the release builds and zip files. Once I'm satisfied with the code I can execute a script for each plugin that builds the DSM, UPX compresses it, copies it to a release directory, then create the release and source zips. Then it copies it to my WebSite directory. All I have to do then it FTP the file to my website.

Wow! Great response time! Thank you very much for fixing the files.

You should be getting paid for this

No problem. I told you I had it automated.

Just let me know how it works for you.

I just tested it and it works great!

Thanx again!
