FYI: New installer in nightly builds

[Walter Schulz]

In case it slipped under radar:

Tonights nightly builds have a new installer offering some changes
https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-request/631/new-installers/diff

Updates for the installer:

•     If you start it on a different firmware version, it will tell you to upgrade Canon firmware. Previous installer would just blink a LED (and there are people who kept it blinking for hours).
      same FIR name for all cameras (8.3)
•     60-second timer for uninstallation
•     dumps ROM before installing, and tells the user to copy these files in a safe place
•     fixes uninstallation on 650D, maybe others (cc243917b1cc)
•     installers for 550D and 600D (not tested)
•     installers for the upcoming 700D.114 and 6D.116
•     custom error message for 70D A and B

Not affected are 600D, 1100D, EOS M and 5D3.123.
And 550D users will may have some fun playing around with a new installer avoiding two-step installation with v2.3 (stable) ...


If you have some tutorials to update it's about time.
