DrTeeth Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) v1.26 was about 8MB, v1.27 about 15MB. This makes me very suspicious, wondering what else is included. The changelog does not explain it. DrT Edited April 22, 2011 by DrTeeth (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically the installer now contains both 32 and 64bit versions of B/C. Plus add that firefox 4.x support was just added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerojinn Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 @DrTeeth TUUS is correct, v1.27 installer now contains both 32 and 64bit versions of BC, 64bit version is an option you can choose it if your os can run it. Other extensions and plugins which make BC work better also make the installer larger. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
