This plug-in enables you to check for updates, New nightly releases, plugins and other add-ons (Icons, Sounds, Language Packs etc.)
It was mostly written to learn the HTTP protocol, but also to be able to check for updates without launching Firebird :)
* Translators: Check out wassup_translation.txt for the complete list of strings you will need to translate Wassup
Installation:
============
To install the plug-in you will need to copy Wassup.dll to your Miranda's plug-in directory (<MIRANDA DIR>\plugins).
Uninstallation:
==============
Shutdown Miranda, then delete Wassup.dll from <MIRANDA DIR>\plugins.
You may also want to delete cached files that Wassup keeps around, they are all stored at <MIRANDA DIR>\plugins\Wassup.
*NEW* Since v0.3.1.2 You can just use PluginUninstaller to completely remore Wassup! Get it here: http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=969
How to use:
==========
Well, this is where I'd explain thoroughly how Wassup works and explain its different parts, but since I already know nobody is going to read this (I'm psychic :P), I'm just gonna keep it short and simple:
Wassup has one main dialog, with different sections in it:
- Nightly updates: Download/Install the latest nightly/latest debug nightly build/latest nightly build source, plus
have a look at the various changelogs.
- Components updates: Right over there you can browse through the various addons available for Miranda,
- Plugins updates: You can select plugins to track for updates using the options (Options->Wassup->Plugins Updates)
- Auto-Checkups: Only shows up when there are updates you should be aware of.
Installations:
=============
In Wassup v0.3.0.0, Wassup uses Miranda Installer to install addons and nightlies. First, make sure you set MirInst's path
in the Options dialog, Second, please make sure you have the latest version of MirInst installed before going "It doesn't work".
Also, make sure that MirInst's options are set right (i.e. Miranda's directory is set correctly in MirInst's options).
Auto-Checkups:
=============
In Wassup v0.1.2.5 you can let Wassup check for updates and let you know about it :)
The options for Auto-Checkups can be found at Options->Wassup.
If a new nightly or updated plugins are found, you will be notified about it with a popup (This requires the PopUp plugin).
Left-Clicking on the popup will show you the new updates.
Final Notes (Or: Stuff you should know):
=======================================
- The lists of components (Plugins, icons etc.) are updated twice a day (Every 12 hours). That's not up to us :)
Credits (Thanks... and stuff):
