Something that has been overdue for a very long time is the support for multiple licenses in a single package.And after way to much time (the original issue dates back to 2016), I’ve finally added support for it. This comes with a little change to the json.<\/p>\n

Previously you’d write this to add your license to the package:<\/p>\n

…
\n“license_type”: “MIT”,
\n“license_file”: “License.txt”,
\n…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This has changed to an array, to allow multiple entries:<\/p>\n

…
\n“licenses”:
\n[
\n{
\n“type”: “MIT”,
\n“file”: “License.txt”
\n}
\n]
\n…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The documentation <\/a>has been updated accordingly and you should use this structure as of now. But don’t worry. This doesn’t mean that older json files are now broken. The reader has a fallback (when no “licenses” entry exists) for using the old pattern.<\/p>\n

The LicenseDialog now presents each license in its own tab
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Delphinus Commandline (DPM.exe) has a new parameter for the “-License” switch on the “Info” command. It allows you to select a specific license in a package (by type) for reading. If this parameter is not used, it will list ALL licenses at once. So for packages with a single License there is no change in behavior. But with multiple this is going to help.<\/p>\n
