Notes for users installing on 1.5.5:
- It is recommended to download and apply both patches (1.5.8c and 1.5.9) if your server versions is 1.5.5
- You can skip copying the jysfs.jar coming with version 1.5.8 and just use the one coming with 1.5.9

Just a little question about applying patches. Must I do them all in order, or can I just patch with the latest patch?

Thanx

[TaiPan]

Good question.

Interested in reviewing past patch notes to see what features have been added since 1.5.5 which is the release I am currently using. I am pretty sure this is the first patch information I have seen since i started testing this software.

Is there an archive on the site where patches and patch notes are available besides using the search feature on the forums?

Thanks for pointing it out!

Well this patch works ok on my old code, however as I good read Lapo info

my old code:

Code: Select all

function handleInternalEvent(evt) {
    if(evt.name == "loginRequest") {

should looks now this:

Code: Select all

function handleInternalEvent(evt) {
    if(evt.name == "EVENT_LOGIN") {

??

No. This is the right way:

Code: Select all

function handleInternalEvent(evt) {
    if(evt.name == InternalEventObject.EVENT_LOGIN) {

where InternalEventObject.EVENT_LOGIN is a string equals to "loginRequest". This is why your code still works.

[Lapo]

Piser, those constants where introduced in the Java extension framework extension, so you might ignore that bit of info if you're using Actionscript.

Alternatively, if you want to access them you'll have to do as Bax suggested, but in order to make it work you'll have to import the InternalEventObject in your script.

Example:

Code: Select all

var _events = Packages.it.gotoandplay.smartfoxserver.events

if (evt.name == _events.InternalEventObject.EVENT_LOGIN)
{
    // your code here
}

HTH

Are there any updated docs for the new features added by the patch?

[Lapo]

This is a maintenance patch, so as you can read from the release notes there aren't major new features
We addressed several bugs, enhanced performance and added a few minor options.

[darnpunk]

Thanks

Hmm "New settings for handling dropped messages" - this looks like pretty new (and very cool) feature

[Dr_Malito]

we love you lapo!
