New Version Update? by jusa_98 on 03-30-2005 at 08:00 PM

Hi,

What happened to the box that used to appear if a new version of Messenger Plus! was available to download?

I have been running an older version of it for some time I see now and only just relised and updated it to the latest version. Some people would never relise! So why not re-introduce this box telling them a new version is available?

Or was it removed for a reason I am not aware of?

Just thought I'd mention it!

akaik, it is still there, it is just triggered by Patchou manually.

RE: New Version Update? by jusa_98 on 03-30-2005 at 08:08 PM

Patchou aint triggered it and left me in the dark.. bad boy!

He should setup a server conf file, which he may have, that lists the current version number. Than when we connect it checks this version against the users version and if their is a difference display an update message and a direct place to download.

And if the version is a HIGHER version than the current version swoop out a message and tell the dude to not try and hack Plus! since it's not worth mucking up.

I think Patchou doesn't enable the auto update untill a couple of weeks after the new version is out to keep the server load down.

Yeah, i think chris100 is right, i think i read that somewhere (once)

If you click "Check for updates" in the about bpx it will detect version 3.50. As always, I wait a little before enabling the auto-update to make sure there's no major bug that would cause problems to millions of people at the same time . Thsi time, it's taking a little longer because the new emotion sound feature is doing too well and I'm currently buying a new server cluster to smooth things out (it's already using 4TB/month). Once the migration will be complete, auto-update will follow (withsome luck, early next week).

To be honest I could not see that in version 3.3x (something or rather)... Might of been a bit earlier, can't remember. All I know is I found a new release by visiting the website for the first time in months because I was thinking surely their would be an update as their were some niggly problems with the version I had.

As I look in this version I see the option.

Goodluck on the new server
