Addons Developers: Help Needed

April 17, 2008 by rainwater

In order to get Addons up and running we are having to use a backup from 6 months ago. Before we can make the site live we need for all Addons authors to update their plugins at the new temporary url. If you have trouble logging into the site, please let us know (there is also a password recovery system). Also, if you have any issue updating and/or adding a new file please let us know so we can work out any of the kinks.

You may notice some quirks (like the front page doesn’t update). These are just display issues that we will resolve soon. At the point we feel like the site is ready, we will move the domain back to its original url.

For users of the Addons site, please be aware that the site is incomplete and may not always be functional. I would advise everyone to hold off from using the site until we move it back to its normal home.

Here is the temporary url:
http://author.addons.miranda-im.org

Miranda Domains Update (Some Good News, Some Bad News)

April 09, 2008 by rainwater

Silently in the night, we turned on several sub domains this past week. Bugs and the Wiki have returned to us although in a shell of their former self. Unfortunately, due to lost data, we had to restart these sites from scratch. We do apologize for this happening again and have taken steps to ensure that it doesn’t ever happen in the future. We have moved these sites along with the main website to Dreamhost for which they have long provided us with great service. I would highly recommend them for any of your hosting needs.

Along this front, we will have an announcement real soon about the return of Addons.

Miranda IM v0.7.0 Preview Release #10 Now Available

September 21, 2007 by rainwater

Miranda IM v0.7.0 Preview Release #10 is now available. This preview release is meant for TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. Due to major changes in the database structure, it is HIGHLY recommended that you backup your database before installing. The preview release cycle is meant to address any outstanding issues before any final release to the public. Any feedback you can provide is greatly appreciated.

It is therefore highly recommended to run DBTool and use the new “Convert old Unicode messages to UTF8″ feature. Also note that some plugins are no longer compatible with this release and onwards and will not be loaded by the core. Please contact the author of these plugins requesting they be updated.

Note: Do not overwrite your mirandaboot.ini file when upgrading over an existing installation.

Important: Users of clist_modern, clist_mw, clist_nicer, scriver or tabsrmm should also download the appropriate contrib file and update their plugins as well. Thanks.

  • Fix aim crash and memory leak

  • Fix page size calculation bug when changing expert options multiple times
