• A36 Prerelease updated Nov 4

    From g00r00@21:1/108 to All on Saturday, November 04, 2017 04:22:34
    I am uploading a new 11/04 version today.

    This version has MIS2 event system enabled, and the MIS event system is disabled.

    I've done very little testing outside of Windows, so please tread with care :)

    With that said I do need people to test it, of course!

    The new event system has some improvements: If an event time lands while another event is running, or if a semaphore hits, etc, Mystic will now start queuing events to run after the currently executing event completes. It can queue an unlimited number of events so nothing should ever be missed because something else was running, but Mystic will also make sure they don't execute together to keep things from getting corrupted...

    It also calculates the current state more frequently, meaning events will kick off a bit faster when semaphores land, etc.

    I have moved 1/100 HUB across to MIS2 for BinkP IPv4 (new for the hub) and
    IPv6 ... and the events are now running on it along with the new fidopoll for this build.

    Will leave 1/101 under the earlier version to see how things behave over the next 12 hours or so, then look to update that if there seems to be nothing amiss.

    Will keep you posted on progress :)

    Best, Paul

    OK, updating all my test point systems (Linux/64, Linux/32, Windows10).
    You mention mis2 events, but I suspect that takes more than the usual
    upgrade. I saw nothing special in the update.txt, but I'd guess there need to be updates to data/servers.dat and I see no new server added (looking at the data as a hex dump). Is it then full and direct replacement? We'll see how it runs ;)

    I've updated DS94, so if this message gets out it means it's working.
