In 0.95.5, I could set the "Min input area size" to 2 lines and to grow when I type.
Now the option to grow is gone.
When I change from 2 lines two 3 and apply, the input area gets bigger. But when
I lower it again, it doesn't work. I have to restart Miranda.

with which SRMM plugin? tabSRMM, scriver, stdmsg?

fixed, will be available in the next nightly build
-
..and judging by the current release shedule, I guess the fix will be available for us on the stable branch, sometime around November 2018? :)
-
We can push some fixes and new features to stable.
Already do this twice for 0.95.5. (Initially release 17.6.2016 → sync with trunk (https://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Changelog/0.95.5&diff=19073&oldid=18964) → sync with trunk again (https://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Changelog/0.95.5&diff=18960&oldid=18926)).
All developers use alpha versions, occasionally introduced bugs that make the program unusable are fixed within 24 hours. So you just can use nightly and receive fixes and new features immediately.
-
With such rare stable releases, I think that you should at least avoid to push them out as silent ones!
-
I concur.
There's nothing worse than dialogs like "I have version X. No, not that one, the OTHER version X."
-
Every build has unique ID (build number). VersionInfo shows this.
-
I'm fully aware of this.
..but if there's no info regarding a new release posted on the homepage, it's considered to be a silent release.
Even today, not all people like to auto-update their software.
IMHO, these previous releases that you refer to should have been officially announced as point releases (v0.95.5.1 and v0.95.5.2).
-
Will the option to grow the textbox be back? It was very useful.
-
Now when I change the number of rows, it works directly, but there is another bug.
When I enter 2 oder 3 lines, it's always aboud 1.5 or 2.5 lines.
When I have set min lines to 2 and I enter text in the first line and press return
I don't see both lines and the input box scrolls.

If you have Plugin Updater, you will be notified about the update immediately.

Sorry, which option are you talking about?

Which DPI you have? Could you attach a screenshot?
-

This I'm also aware of, but it shouldn't be necessary.
Auto-update checking is a type of feature that I disable for all my software.
..and so does a lot of other folks.
-
DPI is set to 96. Scaling is at 100%.
Version 0.95.6
Empty textbox. Set two min 2 lines.

Tomaso,
so, what about option of growing?
-
I checked it again. There was no option for this. It happend automatically as you can see in my screenshots.
-
Scriver-specific auto-rescaling could die because of core splitters. This resize mode is not supported by them
dunno about the font height, nothing was changed there. could you also tell me which font do you use for the message entry field
-
ghazan, could you check and move original Scriver code to autosize input area into core so every StdMsg/Scriver/TabSRMM could properly use that feature? I know TabSRMM had this feature but it wasn't working properly, and StdMsg never has this feature, so using Scriver code may be best (unless you want to rewrite it yourself)
-
I will have to rewrite it myself, because that autosize totally relied on Scriver's own resizing code, which was replaced by the core one
that's why I don't wanna do that right now
-
Tomaso,
so, what about option of growing?
Not a feature that I care about myself.
But I'm not saying that I don't want to update my software..
In fact, I update my software all the time, manually.
I just want to be able to see when updates are available, simply by visiting the homepages of the different software that I use.
This isn't possible for Miranda NG, when you push out silent updates!
-
To see new commits (changes/updates):
https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/commits/
To make miranda alert you that a new update is available:
Install the PluginUpdater addon and configure it to your liking; example of mine:
(https://i.imgur.com/bevbCSn.png)
-
The only solution that comes close to what I want, is to watch the file dates on this page:
https://www.miranda-ng.org/distr/stable/
-
I'm for versioning these stable updates with another number in build (e.g. 0.95.6.0, 0.95.6.1, etc.) and tagging it on git accordingly + using separate stable/dev branches on git. But we are offtopic here, someone should start new thread about this release-cycle/versioning/etc.
Also we might use GitHub's Releases feature to host our stable binaries there (at least as a nice mirror?)
-
Hi, Scriver got some fixes yesterday. Problems still exist?
-
Now when I change the number of rows, it works directly, but there is another bug.
When I enter 2 oder 3 lines, it's always aboud 1.5 or 2.5 lines.
When I have set min lines to 2 and I enter text in the first line and press return
