Title: Latest update to Skype Classic plugin
Post by: makloda11 on 12 09 2014, 21:54:29
The development log says:

SkypeClassic?: Sync from leechers repo


Bugfix: Not checked return value of Typing notification causing stale ERROR
messages that can be eaten by subsequent MESSAGE commands leading to loss of
incoming messages.


Can anyone confirm if this means the Skype Classic plugin now keeps messages 100% in sync with the Skype executable and there no longer any 'lost' messages? This was the big problem with the plugin for me. It seems it lost about 2-4% of all incoming messages, seemingly randomly.

How can I download a binary version of this plugin? I just saw it in the development logs? Are these built every night somewhere?! Sorry for asking  :D

I'd love to test it and report back.

Yes, everyday I'm shuffling (http://z0r.de/3714)... I mean every night is compiled development version from trunk. You can switch to development versions in Options / Services / Plugin updater.  ;)

Thanks Robyer, I updated with the development branch of the plugins.

I just had a conversation with about 140 messages total in and outgoing and I couldn't spot any dropped/lost messages so far. Maybe not big enough a sample, but so far it looks encouraging. Will report back in a few days.

Ok after some more testing I have to report that I had 2 'dropped' messages today. Those are messages that are displayed in the Skype window but never made it into the miranda NG message window for the SkypeClassic plugin.

This problem has been plaguing this plugin for years (probably ever since Microsoft took over) and unfortunately it didn't go away with this fix for me.
