Premake 4.4 release process started

We're kicking off the Premake 4.4. release process, with the first beta available today. Get it from the download page; here's the current list of changes.

There is still a bit of feature work underway so expect to see another beta or two before we lock down the features and start the release candidates.

Give it a try, shake it down, and report any bugs you find.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Hi,

I just reviewed the list of updates and changes to Premake 4.4 and I noticed my change didn't make it on the list: http://industriousone.com/topic/how-generate-codeblock-project-w-differe....

It would be greatly appreciated if you can incorporate this too before the next release candidate. The changes are relatively simple compared to some of the other features added so it shouldn't take more than 5-10 mins to review it all. If you're really pressed for time then perhaps Liam might be able to do it?

Thanks

Hey Greatwolf, thanks for the reminder. I'll make a point of getting this patch applied.

Nobody has had a look at some simple tech to add a make install block to gmake?

Simpler tech would be to just insert text in the gmake file verbatim (which could contain an install block), or another approach would be to reference some external makefile to be included into the generated gmake file, which could contain the install code...

Either way, lacking 'make install' functionality in makefiles of some form is a bit of a killer for linux projects.

Hi!

Is there a target date for Premake4.4 release?

I might find time to try it with a simple test game project, maybe I'll use the beta but if the release is soon I prefer to wait for it.

Sorry, Anonymous was me.

I would say the final release is still at least a couple of months out—at least one or two more betas, and then an RC or two.
