Software-update: Newsbin Pro 6.71 bèta 4 build 4710

De vierde bètarelease van NewsBin Pro 6.71 is uitgekomen. Met dit programma kunnen bestanden, zoals foto's, video's en programma's, van usenet worden gehaald. Het heeft alles wat je van een usenet-downloader mag verwachten, zoals ondersteuning voor multithreading, ssl en autopar. Verder zijn er uitgebreide filtermogelijkheden en kan er van een optionele Usenet-search-service gebruikgemaakt worden. In versie 6.70 is onder meer de download-engine herschreven, is de spam logic verplaatst naar een aparte dll en is afscheid van Windows XP genomen. Met deze vierde bèta keert ondersteuning voor XP echter weer terug. De changelog laat verder voornamelijk bugfixes zien.

Vanaf build 4707 is er juist weer wèl XP-ondersteuning:

Now runs on Windows XP again due to new development tools that support XP.

Komt door het vage issue dat beta 3 er voor zorgde dat op bepaalde systemen geen GUI werd getoond (o.a. bij mij) waardoor er wat code moest worden gerepareerd met als resultaat dat XP ook weer werkt:

Ok, problems is resolved. It was a combination of some shady code in the GUI library I use and a change in how statics are initialized in VC2015.

So, ColorManager was calling into ColorManager when there was no Aero. That was the shady code. Because color manager hadn't actually been initialized yet. This caused the code in VC2015 which handles static variables to hang. Basically it was recursive in a place where that isn't allowed. I assume 2013 didn't care about this recursion but it's a flaw in the code either way.

The code was depending on the particular behavior of the C compiler. When the behavior changed (legally) the shady code broke.

Been tearing my hair out over this. Thanks for all of your help. Next beta will have this fix as well as supporting XP again (a feature VC2015 is giving me).
