ACIDMU beta version 2.5.1.7 now available

Post by Bill Root »

Version 2.5.1.7 includes the following changes from the previous release:

Client:
  • if configured database server isn't found, look for one and offer to use it if found — this primarily helps new installations
  • use internal text file viewer for showing log
  • streamlined database connecting and reconnecting
Console:
  • if configured database server isn't found, look for one and offer to use it if found — this primarily helps new installations
  • use last configured font at startup (instead of waiting for database to connect)
  • use internal text file viewer for showing logs
  • added commands (on Help menu) to show Database Server and Server log
  • added commands (on Help menu) to show Database Server and Server log folder when running on the same computer when the log files are accessible from the current user (this is usually true on Windows but not on other platforms)
  • streamlined database connecting and reconnecting
Database Server:
  • allow automatic discovery (of the Database Server)
  • fixed MessageStatusServer stopping after dirty disconnect from client (could prevent new Clients from connecting to Database Server that was up and running)
  • made app shutdown more resilient
Server:
  • made app shutdown more resilient
  • streamlined database connecting and reconnecting
Installer:
  • if no database server is found, default to installing everything (this only happens the first time the installer is run as subsequently it defaults to the options used last time)
  • Added command-line options to support hands-free installation. On Windows, the syntax is:
    Syntax: ACIDMU_Setup.exe
    /helpshow this message and exit
    /accept-eulapre-agree to End-User License Agreement
    /bothpre-select both Client and Server packages
    /clientpre-select Client-only package
    /silentautomatically advance to next step
    /serverpre-select Server-only package

    Example: ACIDMU_Setup.exe /accept-eula /both /silent
    The syntax is slightly different on Linux and Mac although the option names are the same.
  • added summary mode, which is the new default
  • remember window size and position
