v4.09.27 beta released

I didn't announce this release because I passed out shortly afterwards. It is only about 95% of what I wanted anyway. Still, it represents a large change. I did come across one snafu, and that is updating the self-updater when the self-updater is doing the update. There are several ways to work around the problem, but for now I'm not updating it. Therefore, keep that in mind ;o. Of course, if the self-updater didn't work ok, then I assume you got the full installer and now have the new quick updater that will hopefully do better in the future.

All changes since last beta (may have missed a few):

• Fix.GUI: Added new safeties if process is terminated while operations are being performed upon it (possible cause of some crashes)
• Fix.All: Rundll process name parsing had a spurious quotation mark at the end
• Change.All: Reverted back to our own drop-in replacement for the COM string alloc/free function, as we continue to migrate ancient code
• Change.GUI: Added a little more room for About box information, as it was sometimes vertically truncated with some character sets
• Change.GUI: Updated Serbian translation by Ozzi
• Change.GUI: Optimized a few more pieces of code
• Change.QuickUpgrade: Now does its own closing of running instances, instead of relying on InstallHelper (should fix some issues)
• Change.QuickUpgrade: Can now be used stand-alone, and files will be updated to the right place
• Addition.QuickUpgrade: Added new status bar to show what is currently going on in the background thread
• Addition.QuickUpgrade: Runs better in stand-alone situations
• Fix.QuickUpgrade: Fixed any failure to terminate and some other little issues
• Fix.QuickUpgrade: Fixed issue where error messages were in the background
• Fix.QuickUpgrade: Reduced max wait time on Stop command
• Removal.SFXQuickUpgrade: The QuickUpgrade EXE itself was removed from the SFX, as it is launching the SFX. This will be dealt with more properly soon.
