[jacek]

Imprudence 1.2 is now available!

Please post your feedback, problems, praise, etc. for the new release here. If you haven't already, I encourage you to fill in the System Info in your forum profile, so that we won't need to ask you what operating system you're using, etc.

P.S. Don't forget the praise. :D

Under Linux, the released Imprudence 1.2 is not a minor progression from the two beta release candidates. It's built to use different libraries than the betas, so the testing we did on the betas doesn't apply to it. It won't even start on my box, on which both betas worked and continue to work just fine:

Both the betas were running perfectly with the Gentoo stable versions of the libraries reported in the failure message: libstdc++ [3.3.6] and glibc [2.9_p20081201-r2]. I'm not too sure why the 3rd error is asking for version info, but the Gentoo stable versions of libxml2 [2.7.3-r2] and libgstreamer [0.10.23] were and still are running perfectly with the two betas.

I thought we were still in the thick of testing beta-2 anyway, having just found that memory leak, and the missing Fast Timers patch. Shouldn't this have been beta-3? I was expecting that once a final beta doesn't have any important gotchas left, it then gets promoted to full release, without changes, ie. like Release Candidates.

Thanks for the report, Trini! I'll have that fixed up soon.

We kinda, err, skipped ahead? Technically, it should've been RC1--and even was for a brief period--but there was a strong desire to get 1.2.0 done and over with so we could focus development on 1.3. The Fast Timers patch is in there, but it's only for Linux and Mac, unless there's another one for Windows out there I didn't see?

My mistake. Imprudence and gstreamer were compiled with GCC 4.4 on my system, but should have been compiled with GCC 4.2. I'm recompiling them now, and will have an updated version available soon.

[jacek]

Okay, I've updated the Mac and Linux installers to fix the issues reported by Trinity and Morgaine.

They are at the same location and filename as before. so you should download them again and replace your earlier install with them. Please let me know if you have any more trouble with them.

I'm a bit at a loss. The libxml2 error is simply due to that library being accidently missing from the package, which is easily fixed. But the GLIBC errors are trickier.

The problem there is that my version of glibc (2.11) is newer than yours, so the compiled Imprudence binary is expecting some symbols that your version doesn't have. But unlike GCC, I can't downgrade glibc without breaking my whole system!

If I were wiser, I would have long ago set up a dedicated development environment just for compiling Imprudence for release, with specially-compiled versions of all the libraries. That's going to be a lot of work, though, and I want to get 1.2 released ASAP, so I'm going to have to find a quick temporary solution.

(By the way, you could personally get it to work on your system by upgrading your version of glibc to at least 2.11. But I'm sure there are other users out there with older versions, and I want to support them as well, so this is something I need to fix. Somehow.)
