📔 Docs

............

Release notes truncated. For more details, see the CHANGELOG.

If you are updating from version 5 or older and used the installers, then make sure to uninstall any previous version(s)
before using the installers for versions 6 and newer.

Additional Installer-Notes

It is recommended to have administration-privileges when using the Windows and macOS installers.
I am not a member of the Apple Developer Program and won't pay for codesign-certificates, therefor installers are unsigned.
Running a given installer may produce warnings depending on what OS you are using. You may choose to install it anyway, please be aware though that doing so is, in general, not a safe practice. For ServerPackCreator, though, it is unfortunately the only way to run the installer.

macOS DMG

MacOS will complain about potential security risks and refuse to install and run ServerPackCreator. To circumvent this, please see the official guides depending on your version of macOS: Ventura, Monterey or newer.

Windows EXE

Hit "More information" if the Windows SmartScreen-message pops up. Afterward, a button will appear which will let you run the installer anyway.
