Soulseek General Discussion

The new version of soulseek appears to be a Nightly Build upgrade.
I prefer an exe-file in case you have to reinstall soulseek. Besides there are some bugs in this new Nightly Build; user leijsten already mentioned these problems on this forum.
So yesterday I sent a personal message to Nir to ask him if this is temporary.

Which bugs are you referring to?

See below: message from Peter Leijsten. And besides: When I want to restart the new version I have to restart my PC.

Nir, when I use the latest nightly build and I want to change to the 2015.2.21 build, it's only possible after a computer restart.

And you didn't answered my question if the Nightly Build version is temporary....

Yes, I'm thinking of releasing the nightly builds as release builds soon. I just want to make sure there aren't any critical bugs. Just to make sure I understand, are you not able to close and open the client again to restart it? Or is it only a problem when switching between the nightly and release builds?

Both issues are problems at the moment: so it both concerns opening and closing the client as switching between the nightly and any release build. Peter Leijsten discovered these problems so I tested myself and find out the same he did.
I'm glad that in future you'll continue with release builds; such upgrades have my preference. Is it possible to integrate a message in a future release that there is a new version of soulseek available? That should be a splendid upgrade for soulseek users. And many thanks for all your work during the last years to maintain and improve soulseek!

I retested the problem about closing and restarting the client and also switching between the nightly and release builds. I discovered that there is no problem anymore if you wait about 20 sec. before a restart or a switch.

Nir, Tomorrow'I shall test the Nightly Build again for finding out if there's no problem with both issues when you wait about 20 seconds (see last message of Peter Leijsten)

Yesterday I retested the new version 0f SoulseekQt-2015-4-21-72 Nightly Build and discovered the same results as Peter Leijsten did. Both restarts and switches take such about 20 seconds with the new version. With the SoulseekQt build 2015-1-20 release it takes 6 seconds to switch or to restart. That's a remarkable difference.

I took them offline until I got a chance to verify the whole bitcoin miner business. It's definitely a false positive, and linked against the new Qt 5.4.2 it's no longer being flagged. I posted updated builds to the sidebar.
