No I don't release ARM prealphas often, mostly because I often don't have access to my Pi to compile it and it takes some time. I won't have access to my Pi probably for another month..

Thanks!

I noticed there is a prompts.bak in the data directory (when performing a
fresh install) -- is that one needed for anything? =)

I also managed to get "Error 0" when polling HUB 1 two times in close succession:

Creating another poll.now semaphore made "./mis poll forced" run, but nothing happened (it just hung there) -- had to restart MIS to get things working again:

Not sure what could be the cause of this. Connection blocking in BINKP at HUB
1 because I was too quick? Different Mystic version there? But it worked just fine polling two times in succession after restarting MIS...

Thanks!

No, I just did that just in case there was some issue that went undetected
with all the new theme stuff, so that people wouldn't lose their custom prompts. There is no need to keep it.

I also managed to get "Error 0" when polling HUB 1 two times in close

Thanks I haven't seen or heard about that before but I will poke around and see what might have caused that message. An error 0 typically means no error so its odd that it was triggered, and for that message to show a pretty serious issue had to occur.

If you see sometihng like this happen again please let me know. I did relax some of the status drawing functions in the latest release and maybe that change could have caused a problem so I will just put it back to where it was to be safe. Maybe that will fix whatever happened here, but its hard to say.

Unfortuately I just removed the extra logging that was going on too, and that would have better pinpointed what was going on at the time of failure.

Thanks this should have the unlink feature in the NodeTracker that you wanted.

Updating the prealphas again because I failed to include the upgrade instructions in the first build yesterday (and MIS was actually starting up instead of printing out an error message when the upgrade wasn't performed)

Awesome, thanks g00r00! I hate to add another one to the list, but wo it be possible to remove the SMTP username/password character limits? auto-generates some really long username and password combos for thei SMTP services.

Yeah we can get that expanded. Its probably limited to what it is
because I didn't want to change the data file formats. Worst case it
will have to wait until A45 since I already sent out the A44 upgrade but maybe I can figure something out.

I'm not sure if this is always consistent with AWS but in my case the
username is 20 characters and the password is 44 characters long (brutally
long I know) :(

Thanks again!
Mike

Yeah, I wanted to use SendGrid for SMTP, but they use very long API keys,
more characters than Mystic accepts in the PW field.
