Hmmm....perharps i.ve to wait a lil bit longer for the torrent

Well I AM uploading, and as soon as it's finished downloading from devster's mirror, I'll have a 10mbit seed hooked up too :)

I installed the Feb Beta the other day so does that mean I need to download the Dec Full and the March Update for this to work??

Oh and Thank you guys :D

There is no update for the beta, yet.

Also, I'm pulling the zipfile. Uploading the file to another seed would take too long and render my net connection unusable... and because of the nature of compression, people wouldn'thave just been able to seed it straight off.

Tiny nit on applying updates:

NOTE: I have 4 partitions: Windows 98 on the C partition and Windows XP on the F partition. I did the following while running Windows XP on the F partition.

(1) I installed full December XP 2006 into default directory F:\Program Files\Autopatcher.

(2) I installed February XP 2006 into default directory F:\Program Files\Autopatcher.

(3) I installed March XP 2006 and it failed giving me an error. It tried to install into C:\Program Files\Autopatcher which did not exist. Except, both Dec full and Feb update were able to discover that my Windows XP is working on the F partition and it should have defaulted to F.

December full and February update both found the F partition as the correct default, but the March update did not. Its easy to get around but should not have happened. A small nit!

Thanks for another gr8 update!

Hope there will be a full version soon, its been a few months since a full final has been out ;)

as I found out for myself this afterrnoon, transferring 250 meg files all over the place can be a pain in the arse.

After that experiance, I can see why Blaze and the rest of the team want to keep the update releases pumping out.

i move tweaks into sub folders, the update installer should delete the tweaks directory before unpacking the tweaks into there new locations. perhaps for some reason the deletetion didnt occur, which is a problem because deletetion rules are common in update releases to remove redundant files after a replacement, rename, or redundancy.

if this is the case you will have a large number of tweaks in c:\program files\autopatcher\modules\tweaks, as well as in the new subfolders.

please report back to me whether this is the case.

thanks. I deleted all of the folders and files that were old and it works again :)

the new page:

installing bits of modules not included originally in a lite release, onto a lite release, are shown in the page - ap crashing, mods that dont work or partially work, and wasted space. this new page is the solution to that problem, if such files are included in an update release, we can use this new page which allows alternative installation instructions to be run which skip extraction of those files. this will reduce the number of errors people see when using lite releases with update releases.

the warning:

the second thing you noticed - you get a warning when installing an update release to a folder where autopatcher.exe doesnt exist. this is because update releases are not designed to be used standalone, and this will hopefully help reduce the confusion for new users.

i dont recommend you use them as such, however, if you really want to, go ahead. note, youll need to download and install the ap standalone from the standalone modules thread first to get all the ap program files (not all included) and install over that.

theres a similar warning installing a full/lite release over a folder containing autopatcher.exe.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By lonegull · Posted

      "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
