MangAI v1.15c released

January 27th, 2020 No comments

New to version 1.15c:
-Bug fix: Problem communicating with licensing server in Java 13
As of Java 13, requesting a trial license or trying to verify a trial/full license would fail with an error message about a problem interpreting runtime arguments. This bug has been fixed.
-Compatibility with Java 8
In a previous update, MangAI changed from requiring at least Java 8 to needing at least Java 11. As Java 8 is still being pushed as the main Java version though (it’s what you get when you Google for “java download”), I changed this latest release to be compliant with Java 8 again.

Be aware that Java 8 is at the end of its life and so you may want to update your Java anyway if you haven’t already. Also, while testing in Windows I noticed that the GUI had small text running on Java 8, so update your Java if this affects you.

As always, if your ereader is not included in the list of MangAI settings profiles, contact me with the model and I can easily add it.

Download the latest version from the MangAI project page.

MangAI bug with Java v13, fix coming soon

January 25th, 2020 No comments

Happy 2020 everyone! I hope you all are having a good year so far.

I was recently made aware of a bug that occurs if you use MangAI with Java v13. Requesting a trial license, or trying to verify a trial or full license, will fail with an error message about a problem interpreting runtime arguments. I have already fixed the code and an update should be out tomorrow (health permitting).

MangAI currently requires at least Java v10 to run. As Sun Oracle is still pushing Java v8 as their main distribution (it’s what you get when you Google for “java download”), I may release the next update as Java v8 and up instead. Just be aware that Java v8 is at the end of its life and so you may want to update your Java anyway if you haven’t already.

-Update-
The new code is looking good. I need an additional day for testing.
