The hardest part of this release was fixing the installation experience. Basically, the Setup Projects in Visual Studio 2005 make certain things very easy, and certain things (like removing the program folder on uninstall, or ensuring the files get updated when a newer version is installed) seemingly impossible.
Fortunately I came across this discussion on stackoverflow.com which led me to Inno Setup. Inno is incredibly easy to use--after hours of wrangling with Setup Projects, I was up and running with Inno in about 20 minutes.
Plus, there is no more uninstall/delete hassle like in previous versions. Existing users just run the install and everything should get updated just fine.
The main update besides a better install is a vastly improved NSF export, which is much more faithful to what you hear in the tracker.
There are some new example songs as well.
Have fun...
