going to -hackers
The registry format changed a day ago; the old was getting
too crowded.
1.5 will convert from older versions.
Oh, is that what deleted all my servers? Took me ages to
put them back
again :-(
Um yes, old registry entries are deleted after creation in the new
location to avoid that new entries are overwritten by old ones.
Whatever killed mine off didn't delete them, it just set all the
settings to empty strings so I had lots of servers like: (:0) as Miha
did :-(
1.5 *does* delete the values, but wx will read a non-existent value as
empty and recreate it.
What's also odd, is that looking in the registry, I still seem to be
using the old format having re-added my servers. Obviously I haven't
picked up the change yet, which makes me wonder what blew all the
entries away.
/D
PS. Just rebuilt - settings upgraded fine. Now how do I test fixes in
1.4.x without getting in a mess I wonder...
Any suggestions?
We could copy them over, if newer don't exist, and leave the old ones.
But this would leave quite some (pre-1.5) garbage.

Andreas
