> 1. Favorite Color cannot be UNKNOWN ... I do not see how this resolves the issue?

Favorite Color cannot be UNKNOWN ... OR 2. I just put a hack in that will change the Favorite Color from UNKOWN to a random color only once (which should not be merged into the master or should be immidiatly removed) Your choice is ? :P BR, Stefan --------------- Am 19.03.2013 20:19, schrieb Zieris, Franz: Hi Stefan, I see. This also explains why no color is pre-selected in the Appearance preference page. How "hacky" is your idea? There is no need for a quick-and-dirty solution. However, I would like to release on Friday, to have enough time for the following things: * Reviewing the announcement/README file * Figuring out the drop-in problem (that your task, Michael) * Preparing the announcement of the new Saros website -- which should be available as soon as the DNS servers invalidated their caches.

I can create a hack for the current release if you like. BR, Stefan Am 19.03.2013 20:09, schrieb Zieris, Franz: Dear developers, during the development of the recent weeks I was under the impression, that the default favorite color is assigned randomly, based on a JID hash or something. But as it happens, the default color is always blue, leaving all new and upgrading Saros users with the *same* default color (blue), thus leading reliably to color conflicts. I just commented out the entries of for release 13.3.15 in the Update Site (site.xml), for the following reasons: * Fixing this in the next release would be cumbersome, because one needs to discriminate the state of an untouched favorite color blue from the deliberately chosen color blue. * The past has shown, that many Saros installations take place during the first week after a release, so waiting a few days and releasing a new version, while the current one is still available is not an option. I created a bug tracker item for this topic [1], and would appreciate a rapid processing. (Stefan: Are you keen on taking care of this?) I created a re-release branch (release/13.3.22, branching off of release/13.3.15). Please push the bug-fix to this branch (refs/for/release/13.3.22). Michael: Please do not announce any release yet. Instead, you might prepare the build patches and announcement messages for release 13.3.22. If you have questions, please don't hesitate asking.
