Good job Fred.

By the way, there is a new version of my Bash script for installing MSEide under Linux. The difference with the previous version is that it simply clones the latest state of the git repository (and not a specific release). But it allows to choose a branch:

MSEide Bash Installer

OK, I will do it.

I took the liberty to change the file name to README.md. Of course, feel free to revert if you prefer low case. ;)

[fredvs]

Perfect, many thanks.

[fredvs]

Hum, by the way, I did push your pull-request but you can do it also as administrator. ;)

[rchastain2]

Hum, by the way, I did push your pull-request but you can do it also as administrator. ;)

For now I can't, because I lost access to my GitHub account. (I lost my phone and my computer.) That's why I created another account. :)

[fredvs]

Aie....
I did invite rchastain2.

Aaargh, see #121 : on the release page, in the Source code.zip file, the latest fix from commit 9ff5464 is missing.

What should I do?
Delete release 5.10.6 and its tag, then recreate them so that GitHub adds the source code of the latest commit?
Or do you think the Warning: added on the release page + Source_code_5.10.6.zip is sufficient?

[JonnyTech]

Do not recreate because it will confuse those of us who already have 5.10.6 downloaded.

Release 5.10.7, or 5.10.6.1 or 5.10.6 hotfix.

[fredvs]

I've done some research on how to remove the tags created on Github, but it's not possible...

So you can delete the release and recreate it, but not the 5.10.6 tag.
You may delete a tag in your local repository but not from the Github repository.

And if you use the 5.10.6 tag to recreate the release, Github will add the same Source code.zip file as it currently does.

Note that the fix is only to compile MSEgui code for Linux aarch64 and FreeBSD i386, nothing more, all other targets are fine.

You're right, this will only add confusion, and I vote to leave the situation as is and only add a warning + updated-source-code.zip for Linux aarch64 and FreeBSD i386 users.

I did add this in https://github.com/mse-org/mseide-msegui/releases/tag/5.10.6 :

Warning: For Linux aarch64 and FreeBSD i386, for the source code, use the updated Source_code_updated_5.10.6.zip in assets in this page.

[fredvs]

But if you think the best would be to create a new release 5.10.6.1, I am ok but maybe then only a MSEgui release, not MSEide-MSEgui because all the binaries of MSEide are ok in release MSEide+MSEgui 5.10.6.
(Of course MSEide binary for Linux aarch63 and FreeBSD i386 were compiled after the commit of the fix).

And in this case, a note at end of page with the link of MSEide binaries form release 5.10.6.

[fredvs]

Another problem, if we release a new version of MSEgui v5.10.6.1 on GitHub, is that it should also be released for CodeBerg:
https://codeberg.org/mse-org/mseide-msegui/releases/tag/mseide-5.10.6

But on CodeBerg, it's fine, because I released the version after the patch, and the Source code.zip file is therefore updated there.
And so, a new version of MSEgui 5.10.6.1 on CodeBerg will be exactly the same as the MSEide-MSEgui 5.10.6 version.

Anyway, I apologize, I should have compiled all targets before the release and not just after the "tenors" (Linux i386+x86_64, FreeBSD x86_64, Windows i386+x86_64).

[rchastain2]

Hello everybody.

A 5.10.6.1 version without binaries sounds good to me. And no need IMHO to create it also on Codeberg.

And I would remove Source_code_updated_5.10.6.zip.

[fredvs]

OK, done: https://github.com/mse-org/mseide-msegui/releases/tag/5.10.6.1
I hope it is ok now.
