Flexhub Beta 0.2 svn 1403 released

[en_dator]

So here are another great update of your favourite hubsoft

We had some really cool stuff planned for you in this release, but unfortunately we crashed and burned on that so instead we give you whats left in the hope you wont be too disappointed with us,

Please be aware that one of the reasons for this version taking so long to get public is that we have had some stability issues, and while I hope we have fixed them I can't promise we have. So remember to report anything that looks wrong (and do backups).

• Lots of new profile settings (most of the ones from the !set rules section)
• Private rooms are now saved and restored on hub restarts (more changes to chatrooms will come later)
• New supports added : adc ORLY and nmdc $SetIcon
• Periodic cleaning of internal logs to reduce memory usage
• Almost all transfers are buffered and sent in batches to reduce server load
• Some optimizations to reduce CPU usage and more optimizations to reduce memory use even more
• Possibility to restore (partial) user data on hubrestart
• purgeaccounts is a new function to remove unused accounts, I seem to recall that has been asked for once or twice
• A new command !testpattern, used for testing if a text matches any stored pattern, use to test wheter the pattern you added actually works like you thought or not
• Some changes and bug fixes for import function, we also added support for importing Luadch accounts.
• Hopefully finally got the rd deadend problems solved.

Please note that due to some issues in the past some files are missing from the inline update. If you want to use the import feature please get the complete archive from the forum
and take the files from the import folder and place them into your installation before running the import.
Please also remember that the file format of the accounts file you want to import into FlexHub MUST be saved in the same format and using same codepage as the setting for the nmdc charset in your FlexHub.
That is the only way account names may be correctly translated/detected.

We have had some stability issues, which is one of the reasons why this update has been delayed so much, so please, please - do backups

and more bugfixes as noted in the changelog below:

NOTE: For !restart to work when running multiple FlexHubs, you'll have to make sure that the files you start the hub with, have a unique name. For Windows this means renaming both FlexHub.lua and FlexHub.exe (both the .exe and the .lua need to have the same name though), for Linux this means renaming FlexHub.lua only. So for example in Windows: rename FlexHub.lua to FlexHub1.lua and FlexHub.exe to FlexHub1.exe.

NOTE: Linux --nogui version needs the file: bit.so in the FlexHub lib-folder, available in the Linux archive in download section if you don't already have it. The FlexHub team currently does not support or supply Linux x64 versions.

NOTE: After '!update now' the hub will tell you if it needs a !restart or if you can just use !rs (reload scripts) instead. If the path to FlexHub.exe contains spaces the hub will have to be started once manually if it was running svn 1108 or earlier before updating, a correct restart script (for use with !restart) will only be created on manual startup.

Keep giving feedback!

Regards, the FlexHub team

so, a few hours after release it looks like we didnt made a complete mess.

but we did manage to let a few bugs slip out,

an error on startup  ( /core/Hub-Gui.lua:304: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got string)  that LA found, temp fix here :  http://www.flexhub.org/forum/index.php?topic=510.0 )
alien found a problem with purgeaccounts where it dont like some of his imported accounts,  what happens is it will just not reply, feed says the command was successful, but it doesnt reply back at all in main
and there is a small issue with chatrooms if you stop and start the hub (restart works fine, just not stop and start using the console)

So it looks like there will be another update already in a day or two.

Hi!

Exactly what does the following mean: "+ added : another attempt in the search for the Holy Grail of TLS"
Is TLS supported on the windows version now (didnt seem to work when i tried it)?

/ S

[en_dator]

No, TLS does not work on windows, and when it does I promise it wont be hidden somewhere way down in the changelog

But we spent a lot of work trying to work around the socket problems on windows in order to allow the usage of encrypted transfers, but in the end we were not successful in getting it stable.

Ok, thanks for the info!

I am however truly greatful for the new features in this release - !purgeaccounts is GREAT!

/S

[en_dator]

 

And I have fixes for the above mentioned issues and an update should be out shortly
(the problem with purgeaccounts had nothing to do with imported accounts this time, but instead the problem is that if you are purging too many accounts the list will overflow the client buffer)

200-300 at a time should work fine, but more seems to cause problems
