Background: I am investigating CCNet backwards compatibility with versions 1.4.4.75 and 1.6.7981.1: an older server with a newer version of CCTray, and a newer server with an older version of CCTray.
I have installed CCNet 1.4.4.75 and am running it locally on my machine. I placed one project on this local server, and can view it on CCTray 1.4.4.75 as I expected. I then installed CCTray 1.6.7981.1 and tried having it list this project by adding the server (ticking "Connect to pre-1.5.0 server" when doing so). The project is listed, and is successfully added to the main CCTray screen, but it seems every time CCTray polls the server, it disconnects and reconnects to it, resulting in a very visible grey CCTray icon for the few seconds during the reconnection process. I don't have this problem with the 1.4.4.75 version of CCTray, so I was wondering what could be causing this behaviour in the 1.6 version? Short of upgrading my CCNet server to 1.6, how do I solve this issue? Any help is much appreciated. ~Sam.
