Epyrus 2.0.0 is released.

Post by athenian200 » 2022-10-31, 23:48

This is a major version update, and effectively is meant to take Epyrus from alpha to beta. This SHOULD be a much better application, but there may be issues of course. You may want to install this in a different location than Epyrus 1.x and possibly use a different profile if you're anxious about your existing data. It works fine as far as I know, and I didn't do anything that should have interfered with compatibility, but I tend to get "lucky" and miss issues other people run into all the time.

- Lots of fixes and a new theme by FranklinDM have made it into this release.
- Automatic updates should be possible from now on (in theory, anyway).
- I fixed my personal .mozconfig to be closer to Pale Moon's that I won't accidentally distribute the wrong version of the CRT anymore.
- An installer will be available.
- It is now possible to target Epyrus directly as an application but still have Thunderbird add-on compatibility thanks to a revised AppCompat GUID system.
- Releases will no longer be served from my personal OneDrive, but will instead be served from epyrus.org
- Website is coming soon.
- Known issues: The about dialog box doesn't look quite right on Linux now. I got it looking okay on Windows, but I didn't want to hold back release for that.
