New download options!
Saturday, August 2. 2008
In preparation of the soon-to-be release of MobMap v2.10 (scheduled to arrive in the next 24 hours), I have implemented a simple script that takes the current MobMap addon .zip file, adds the newest database files to it and puts the result up for download.
The result can be seen on the AddOn download page: there are now 3 options, either the MobMap addon without a database (that was the only option until now) or the addon together with either the german or english database. This should make it a little easier to manually install MobMap as you just have to fetch and extract one file now instead of two :o)
[UPDATE] After solving some problems with Wine (a tool which makes it possible to run many applications compiled for Windows on Linux) I was able to create a similar automated process to build the setup executable every time a new database is being built! This will ensure that the MobMap database delivered with the setup executable is always as up-to-date as possible and relieves me from having to manually rebuild this file from time to time (a chore I admittedly hated and "forgot about" quite often ;-)
