Bootless Star - Version 1.5.5

Despite the development had ceased, I still depend on the DeLorean backup solution. Though, I noticed some issues with the DeLorean for a few years now - but could not provide any time to correct the problems. I also ran my system with no backup builds available, except for the basic Windows File History. While this temporary workaround works, I cannot assure that the files will be available if the system were to ultimately crash. So, I finally devoted a few hours to push out a few fixes, but no features were added. I cannot guarantee that I will continue to provide any additional surprise fixes in the future, but I hope this helps to extend the life of this program for a few more years to come. Enjoy!

Changelog:

26 March. 2024

• Use quotation on output redirections for STDOUTs
  Without the quotations, if a file path contains any spaces - then the output would not be correct, yet the left overs would be considered an additional arguments that would be invalid. This would cause the program to crash as a result.
• When initializing %SourcePath% and %Output%, encapsulate it with quotations.
  This will assure that any spaces introduced into the string will be properly part of the assignment.
• Use quotations on %Output% when inspecting if the assigned path exists.
  Without this, the IF extCMD would see the string with spaces (or any special characters) as a command\instruction when the value is seen as a true condition.
• When using the DEL extCMD, %Output% needs to be quoted

• Added Tracing to the ignore list in the DeLorean Project Module.
  I could be grossly wrong, but it seems that %UserProfile%\Tracing\ is intended to hold data for Win10 Skype instance? The file is locked by the application, which will cause the backup operation to fail.
• Applied a few delimiters to the list
  Windows default time\date schemes can contain spaces within the date format, and time contains a comma for milliseconds. Previously, this could break the %core.Time% and %core.Date% expectations.
• Revised the %core.Date% to use the English region time and date formatting
  When I was developing this program, I used the German Time and Date region formatting. With using the German formatting, the %DATE% or 'DATE /T' would provide this formatting: DD.MM.YY. Yet, the English formatting is: DDD MM/DD/YYYY. Because of this inconsistency, and no real easy way to quickly fix this, the regional formatting will have to be set as 'English'. With that, the %core.Date% will contain: Day, Month, and Year - but still following the user's English regional settings.

Bootless Star - Version 1.5.4

Bootless Star's core (version 1.5.4) was released on 6 March 2016, I just now finally decided to make a release on GitHub - primarily because I wasn't sure how to until I finally had a chance to look it up 😃. For those wondering where the other releases are or the in-depth commit history in this project, this project was shifted over to GitHub from Subversion in the later part of the development cycle and not during the major evolution development phases.

• DoomBuilder2 (Compiler) - Version: 1.5.3
