I do this for all my packages where ever possible, but in ImageGlass's case, it isn't possible. At least, not easily. This is because they do not publish MSI binaries for pre-releases, meaning I'd have to use the portable ZIP releases, and I wouldn't want to do that on an “Install-only” package. The alternative would be to run the build process myself to generate the MSIs, but that's a lot of effort, and ImageGlass is a somewhat big piece of software.
The easiest solution would be to contact the ImageGlass maintainers and ask them to publish MSIs on pre-releases (for both x64 and x86). Since my packaging system already enumerates releases, regardless of if they're marked as pre-release or not, they'll be automatically picked up with no extra work required on my side.
Ah, that's understandable. I'll just use their portable prerelease for the time being then.
Hey guys, looks like last week they just released an official stable version and there's an MSI available.
I guess it's invalidated in the automation script as ImageGlass dev packages only x64 version in the release:
Quoted from the blog post:
ImageGlass 9 drops support for Windows 10 version 1909 (November 2019 Update) and older, including Windows 8.1, 8 and 7. Please note that 32-bit x86 version is also no longer supported.
@Starz0r, can you fix this? There is also a (new?) arm64 build by the way in case you wanna package that as well.
Fortunately most users use 64-bit so it likely won't be an issue.
Dropping Windows 10 support might be a slight problem though because the install will just fail I'm guessing. Not sure if the script should include a check for the OS version, or if it should be left as is?
The functions to detect the OS and architecture can be found but here's an easy function I wrote awhile back for similar purposes: https://gist.github.com/asheroto/cfa26dd00177a03c81635ea774406b2b
Thanks for adding this, but I noticed the "Release Notes" don't look at we would expect them to.

ImageGlass 8.8.4.4 onward does not work for me due to a dependency issue on their side. Usually it's not an issue for me to stay on older version until there is a fix but I noticed that 8.10.9.27 fixed a WebP vulnerability CVE-2023-4863. Since ImageGlass has been baking 9.0 with several beta releases, would you mind adding 9.0 RC as a prerelease?
