What's new in 11.0.5

Bug fixes:

  • Show a user-friendly error message when files.​log is missing during the uninstallation
  • macOS code signing: Constrain the value written to CFBundleShortVersionString to fix code signing issues
  • The value of the macOS entitlements file setting was not saved as a path, which led to problems building on a different platform
  • External signing or post-processing executables were sometimes run in parallel, which could lead to problems
  • "Disable notarization" check box was only visible on macOS
  • Do not set a security manager for Java 17+ to avoid warnings
  • For signing with external executables, the temporary launchers now have an .exe suffix to fulfill the requirements of some code signing tools
  • "Text field with integer format" form component: When the "Maximum number of digits" property was set and more digits than the maximum number of digits were entered, all numbers were shifted to the left instead of rejecting the new digit
  • "Text field with integer format" form component: When the "Minimum number of digits" property was set and the "Allow invalid input" property was not set, the user could not overwrite the leading zeros after the first typed digit

install4j 11 version history

11.0.4 Jun 4, 2025

New features:
- Added an optional autoProvisioningCacheDir property to Gradle, Maven, and Ant integrations
- The install4j runtime API, the install4j Maven plugin, and the JDK provider API are now published on Maven Central
- macOS media files: Support bookmark files in the additional files for the DMG (media wizard → Installer options → DMG options and files)
- Added support for separate JMOD archives from JDK providers. This is required for creating modularized Adoptium JRE bundles starting with 24.​0.2
Bug fixes:
- "Run executable or batch file" action: If a path to an .exe file was specified without the .exe extension, it was launched like a batch file instead of being launched directly. This could lead to compatibility problems for argument resolution.
- Prevent the output of "WARNING: A restricted method in java.​lang.​System has been called" when running installers with Java 24+
- Prevent errors in console and unattended mode due to the removed security manager in Java 24+
- Parallel uploading to the Apple notarization server could lead to failures
- On macOS, file choosers and alerts did not disable top-level menu entries if they were displayed right after a modal dialog was hidden

- Security: Updated eddsa to address CVE-2020-36843
- Regression in 10.0: Changes on the additional entries tab of the "Create program group" action were not saved if no changes were made on the properties tab
- Regression in 11.0: Fixed issues on Windows when starting launchers from UNC paths
- Password field component: The caps-lock indicator icon and the reveal password icon overlapped if both were displayed at the same time
- Windows launchers: Fixed issue with very long lines in .vmoptions file
- macOS media files: Fixed exceptions during notarization upload
- macOS app store media files: Add com.apple.security.inherit entitlement for included executables. This allows creation of child processes.
