oftentired wrote:Flashpeak, the developer, explained on another forum that the change-log will contain everything of significance, but will not detail every single code addition, deletion, or correction that is made.

Does the Slimjet "What's new" page contain everything?

Re: Slimjet portable prompts UAC/Admin code?

Re: Slimjet portable prompts UAC/Admin code?

I think the stand alone installation uses the same install program as the normal installation and it does not differentiate between the 2 during installation. The portable version isn't installed and there's no installation process, it's just downloaded, extracted and run. My question about the UAC...
