Advanced Users Only!
This is a test build of v620. It has:
- pillow-avif-plugin, an AVIF rendering library
I do not know if this build will cause 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?
- How do your AVIFs look?
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 merge/overwrite 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.
- 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!
