Watrack issue

[Dimsok]

After updating some strange thing happened - i can't see any option in watrack settings anymore

[Dimsok]

And not only with that plugin as i found out. Quick replies plugin's interface's settings is buggy too. I can't close that window. Maybe with some windows of settings the same problem. What's wrong?

Dimsok, last two days code for options dialogs was changed. looks like something goes wrong there

Dimsok, check it today please - are these issues fixed now?

Why so often updates when is more chances to find some thing broken then better working or new featured? Why turn workable things to unworkable? Doesn't scrobble anymore

They try to cleanup Miranda so it's easier to maintain in the future... and might also fix one or two bugs.. though the "cleanup" is mostly Copy&Paste / Search&Replace, and is thus very likely to break things. (as people are lazy^^)

In the end, it should improve Miranda's overall code quality.. though it sometimes degraded performance a bit. (while also improved it in other cases)

Clean up and searching for new crashes? Sometimes all work good and updating makes crash. I think updates need only when connection of some protocols stop working or adding of new features to addons. Why change one bug on another cause every update is the reason for new update (to correct errors, derived from that update). It's endless story.
Or collect updates and make changes more rarely (at least not every day). Cause it's tiresome update it every day and searching for new bugs, errors and crashes.

You are not forced to use the developer build^^
Besides, you are not forced to update it either. Simply stay on your version if everything works.

Dimsok, just set your updater to check for updates more rarely - e.g. not every day, but once a week or so.

These changes might be pain in short term, but makes Miranda better in a long term. Make it easier to maintain the project or read the code or just allow to fix bugs on one place instead of on many places/plugins. And also it could provide soil for the new features in future.

Robyer, but not for Watrack coz it wrote on pascal

[Dimsok]

Before updates was for a few plugs. Now almost everyday for all! And nothing new in them. Only for compatibility with new core i guess? I still think it's endless process, no? Will come one day when miranda will be pefrectness in code when you will be change it only with critical changes in protocols just to make it works, but not to give unvisible improvments?
