Upgrade detection properties for WiX (not tested but looks like a handy thing to have). I'm actually thinking this might make more sense in a Fragment instead of Include. based on: http://code.dblock.org/msi-property-patterns-upgrading-firstinstall-and-maintenance#comment-695361597
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Include xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." Schedule="afterInstallInitialize"/>
<SetProperty Id="FirstInstall" After="FindRelatedProducts" Value="true">
NOT Installed AND NOT WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED AND NOT WIX_DOWNGRADE_DETECTED
</SetProperty>
<SetProperty Id="Upgrading" After="SetFirstInstall" Value="true">
WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED AND NOT (REMOVE="ALL")

JacobGood1's macros page

Macros(SPEL:-semantic-programming-enhancement-logic).md First of all, I advocate we call macros SPELs in order to get rid of the confusion when people come from other languages. This will also allow people who want to write tutorials about such a feature to easily(or more easily) google the word SPEL over macro. My recommendation of SPEL is not my own idea it comes from Conrad Barski: http://www.lisperati.com/no_macros.html

Shen, a dialect of lisp, will be what is used for spel examples. I will try to explain the syntax in order for readers of this wiki to be able to absorb the idea of spels. Come to this channel for questions, comments, approvals, disapprovals, or whatever else: https://gitter.im/red/red/lisp

We will begin(and end) by discussing two examples: max and thread.

In Shen, one defines a function at the repl like so...

Attempting to produce a simple / concise explanation of words in Red

What are words?

Words form the grammar of the Red programming language. For people familiar with more mainstream languages, word! replaces keywords, variables, and operators. However, unlike other programming languages where those constructs have fixed definitions hard-wired in the compiler, in Red words are just a basic type of data. This makes the structure of a program extremely flexible.

Parts of a word!

A word! is made of up of 3 basic parts.

  • name - The symbolic representation of the word. It's just the text that you typed to create the word
  • context - This determines the meaning of the word. Just as in spoken language, a word can change its meaning depending on the context. In Red, a context is a mapping of words to their meanings.
