Advanced Users Only!
This is a test build of v594. It has:
- requests updated from 2.31.0 to 2.32.3
- setuptools updated from 69.1.1 to 70.3.0
- PyInstaller updated from 6.2 to 6.7 for Windows and Linux
I do not know if this build will causes dll errors in a specific OS, so before I merge these updates into the normal release, I would like advanced users to simply try it out and see what happens.
So, if you would like to help me out:
- Extract it to your desktop or similar. DO NOT USE IN A REAL CLIENT IN YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT.
- Does it boot?
- If mpv works in your real client, does it still work here?
- How do your images look? Any incorrect colours or static?
- Do you have any UI issues, particularly stuff like menu positioning on a multi-monitor setup?
If it works with no problems and you are feeling brave, please test it on an existing installation so we can see if there are dll conflicts:
- MAKE A BACKUP. IF YOU CANNOT BACKUP OR ARE UNCERTAIN HOW TO RESTORE, DO NOT DO THIS
- Warning: Do not use the test extract you made earlier on your desktop to update! This extract has a new database in it, and if you were to, say, drag and drop it on your real build, you would overwrite your real database. Update just as you normally would.
- Update exactly as you normally would using the downloaded build file.
- Does it boot ok?
Let me know via email or discord or post on the release threads. I'd like to know your OS, too!
macOS users have a different situation, where an App will try to use your real release's db location by default, so the testing situation will have to be smarter, probably with a -d launch parameter. If you are a mac user and aren't sure what that means, do not try this!
Thanks!
