Title: Attention Windows XP users
Post by: dartraiden on 19 09 2019, 16:34:33

Due to the renewal of the certificate used by our server, Windows XP users have lost the ability to receive the updates using PluginUpdater (https://miranda-ng.org/p/PluginUpdater).

Please do the following:

• switch to Custom version in the updater settings (Options → Services → Plugin Updater)
• manually replace https by http
• apply settings and run update check (Main menu → Search for updates)
• update Miranda and switch back to the desired version (Options → Services → Plugin Updater)
• (Important) do not enable Use HTTPS option

Thanks for the post @dartraiden!

I guess the new certificate is also the reason why I can't connect to the forums anymore with my older brower.
The main page https://www.miranda-ng.org/ still works though. Different https protocol?

EDIT After a reboot, everything is working fine, including the forums at https://forum.miranda-ng.org/
Perhaps the cache or the cookies were cleared. Just a guess.
