Release Notes: This release serves as a program launcher in addition to self-extracting and installing Java programs. The goal is for one downloadable file to serve as an installer, launcher, and program shortcut. After downloading a single file packaged by Jar Ajar, users can double-click the file to install and launch the program. When they double-click the file again, it automatically determines where the program was installed and launches it again, no matter where the original file has been moved.


Release Notes: New features in this release include the ability to display a license during self-extraction and a readme afterward. Jar Ajar can now also launch programs after extraction. Hyperlinkable text displays are now supported. User interface improvements were made.
