Apologies for releasing another installer so soon, but it was necessary
to correct a packaging error. The resulting problem was reported here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-August/001897.html
The new installer package is version 4.4. Version 4.3 is no longer
available. The new installer can be obtained at the usual address:
http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe
An earlier installer should also offer to download the new version and
perform an upgrade. The new installer will fully upgrade a previous
get_iplayer installation, but you may wish to uninstall the old version
first. See notes below.
NOTE 1: If you use v4.4 to upgrade a v4.3 installation (i.e., one
created with the installer released yesterday [2011-08-29]), you only
need to re-install the "get_iplayer" component. The helper applications
do not need to be updated. The v4.4 installer should flag this
correctly, but if not, make sure the "get_iplayer" component is selected
for installation
NOTE 2: If haven't yet upgraded from v4.2, you should elect to install
ALL components. You should be prompted to do so when the installer
runs. Everything has been updated, and the new installer works a bit
differently underneath, so a full (re)installation is the way to clean
up the previous installation and get everything updated properly.
