This is getting frightening. Both "normal" beta testing sources (I know of) have been taken down (404). The one on Proton Drive still works.
I, like everyone else here, is praying for a speedy recovery of @mxman2k. He is an invaluable member of this forum. With that said, we have to keep the theme of this development thread intact, so I moved last few posts to a separate thread. === Update: @mxman2k is no more https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/89126/
This isnt the place to discuss this, he was ill for years and had a brain hemorrhage some years ago. As you can see by Tito's post he passed away so
Let's hope we can get the sources from somewhere, and someone continues the project. It would be very sad to see this long-standing project end.
Definitely, we gotta keep working on this. My document talking about the History of 7 RTM activators will be dedicated to mxman2k himself, I will add a specific paragraph dedicated to him. And I will add his profile picture in memory of him.
If @Alphawaves could reach out again to his family and ask for it, they might but it feels abit extreme
It would suffice to suggest to please not scrap/delete his storage media immediately. Then, with the due respect and after some time, kindly ask if MRP could be made available to pass it on to a new maintainer. I'm absolutely sure he also did not want his project to end like that, it was simply too sudden. On another note, I know he asked to keep the beta server's contents private and for beta testers only. Under the special circumstances, maybe making the latest versions of the tools available would be a good idea, as the last beta server (Proton) also won't stay up forever...
Dang, this hit me hard. RIP my friend. I was the one who helped him take over the project. I will miss him. AKA: The Guardian Cerberus
I was thinking of a more modern gui for autoit. Plus I know a few tricks that would make it more modular. No need for checking uac anymore. Next month I will be in my new house. In transition now. I will keep in touch. I need all the source code for batch and autoit, if anyone has it. I would like this to be more of a group project. All feedback is welcomed.
@The_MagicMan I guess Nigel (R.I.P.) would have loved to see the project being continued and specially by you
These are the latest public releases? Because there are newer versions for testers with more fixes. GUI QT 1.08h MRP 160 BT7 (update for 159 base) GUI QT v2 1.04 (Alpha) updated OEM's.7z Development really should start from these versions.
@Enthousiast What do you think? Should we make a one-time release of these latest versions? Apart from the Alpha release of QT v2 1.04, all seem to be pretty stable.
Yes, they can act as liminal versions until new development starts. I guess they are all too big to be posted as attachment, will have to resort to upload.ee again, the same service mx used, too. Edit: Posted in Post #3.
