Tomaso,
so, what about option of growing?

[Tragen]

I checked it again. There was no option for this. It happend automatically as you can see in my screenshots.

[ghazan]

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

[Robyer]

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)

[ghazan]

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,

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:

[Tomaso]

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/

[Robyer]

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?

[dartraiden]

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.

Should be fxed in https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/commit/b75b40785ee54921abe2e8120906e4e6ee41ed83
