Updated plugin not being detected through the plugin updater

[TekWiz]

I'm trying to update the recently updated skypeweb.dll plugin through the update function but it absolutely does not detect there is an update. Two boxes show up at the same time and report no update. I've tried many times... 

This is the connection info, in case it's useful:

TCP   192.168.0.105   92.53.65.196   64814   443   Inspiron660      https   20   6,343 Bytes   7,505 Bytes   13.2 KB/Sec   12/19/2024 7:46:27 PM:215   12/19/2024 7:46:27 PM

Edit: So meanwhile I took a look at the website, and saw that the "Development version" has been updated today, (not the Stable version) so I downloaded it and placed the two files in the folders manually, but then Skype won't work at all, accounts show up as red buttons saying it's disabled! 😢

BTW: Very interesting with the webpage (as I saw in Github) in the log! Now I see how you get that HTML page from the log, so I removed some text and was able to also pull up an HTML page, with the same incorrect login, but the user/login are actually correct... Why would one account work (where the login is with an email address work, but this one is with the skype name, and I also tried with the email address associated and same issue.)

Plugins from one version (0.96.6) will not work with another (0.96.5) this is done intentionally because we do not guarantee backward compatibility.

You should wait for a stable version update.

Thank you, so that's why it doesn't work. Well, so do you mean I need to update Miranda itself manually first? Because I don't understand why on Github I was told that the skypeweb.dll has been updated and I should be able to automatically update is from within Miranda?

@Tekwizz it was updated 3 hrs. ago and available through "Check for updates". Works just fine now.

It was updated in the development version only.

You can switch to the dev version in the PluginUpdater options.

Thanks so much, now I finally understand!    I found that option, and was able to update, and now it all works again! Phew what a day, it was driving me totally mad! 

(I am wondering what caused the bug, is it the difference between older accounts that use the skype name vs. the ones that use the email address to login?)
