Miranda IM v0.7.0 Preview Release #10 Discussion

[rainwater]

Miranda IM v0.7.0 Preview Release #10 is now available. This preview release is meant for TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. Due to major changes in the database structure, it is HIGHLY recommended that you backup your database before installing. The preview release cycle is meant to address any outstanding issues before any final release to the public. Any feedback you can provide is greatly appreciated.

This release implements an entirely rewritten backend to improve internationalization support. It is therefore highly recommended to run DBTool and use the new "Convert old Unicode messages to UTF8" feature. Also note that some plugins are no longer compatible with this release and onwards and will not be loaded by the core. Please contact the author of these plugins requesting they be updated.

Note: Do not overwrite your mirandaboot.ini file when upgrading over an existing installation.

Important: Users of clist_modern, clist_mw, clist_nicer, scriver or tabsrmm should also download the appropriate contrib file and update their plugins as well. Thanks.

Changes Since Preview Release #9:

• Fix aim crash and memory leak
• Don't fire statusbar click events in srmm when not needed
• Fix profile editor exit crash
• Fix page size calculation bug when changing expert options multiple times
• Possible buffer overflow on incoming IM in Yahoo.
• Fix for unicode typing notify tooltips
• Scriver: Improve manual code page selection in Unicode version and error dialog box in ANSI version (undelivered messages are displayed using rich edit instead of simple text field)
• Fix duplicate notices in Tabsrmm.
• Fix for msn login problems

There is no blog entry.

Edit: Oh alright, thought the blog entry is been made before the forum entry.

There never is immediately. Until the build has been verified by several people, the blog post is not posted yet.

Exiting still takes too long with modern contact list.
Everything seems alright otherwise.

[cojones]

Chudilo as told in nearly every PR thread, clist_modern is not part of the PR release, contact the clist_modern developer in the clist_modern thread. Anything in the contrib download is only there to keep compatibility up, not features/bugfixes.

Wanted to try this preview version, but special danish characters (æøå ÆØÅ) sent to me shows up wrong. What do I need to change?

None of the other builds did this :/

Hello

Sometimes I've got Japanese/Chinese when I send an message. Apparently opposite side gets almost deformed (some letters missing or changed) message, in other words received message (destination I send the message), one I sent and the one I see in history all are different.

Look at link:

Also Msn-messages have hard time going trough (previous error usually happens when message timeouts some times before going trough). Very often I have situation, when message timeout message appears and I have to re-try few times before message goes trough. Very annoying. And it happens people in same local network and people on other side of the net, so it can't be just bad connection.

mWaltari, please read the first post in this thread (especially the part in red) and start with updating your plugins.
