berrybrew version 1.33 released!

I've released berrybrew version 1.33. This version has significant enhancements, along with some bug fixes and handling of some uncaught exceptions. The changes reflect versions 1.30 to 1.33.

Major changes include:

UI:

Allows you to install, switch to, remove and use Strawberry Perls directly
Can now spawn a CLI window for any Perl you have installed
Allows you to spawn a CLI window for the currently active Perl
Provides access to modify several of the core configuration options (debug, file association etc)
Allows you to disable all berrybrew Perls and restore to system default

Installer:

Performs an upgrade on any previous berrybrew install
Adds any new configuration options, while preserving the values of any previously set existing ones
Provides facility to install the most recent version of Strawberry Perl
Allows you to have berrybrew manage the .pl file association
Allows you to have the UI run at system startup
Aborts if trying to install the same version that's already installed

Functionality:

You can now leave off the _32/_64 bit prefix on a Perl name, and we'll default to _64
All execution paths return a proper exit code
Added new berrybrew hidden command, lists all, well, hidden commands

For all other changes, please refer to the Changes file.

Cheers!

I have to admit that I rarely ever use Windows unless I'm working for a client, or I'm developing `berrybrew`. However, with the new UI feature of being able to pop out a CLI at any time to any version on the fly, `berrybrew` just became one hell of a lot more useful to me for my development, and I just might start using Windows for more of my Perl distribution development work. I hated having to open, make a change, close then reopen command line windows all the time. Way, way better with the UI.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
