Well it's happened frequently. You just know it's broken like before, yet it's
still on the website for download as a release.
It just seems sloppy, and I don't know why'd you'd be happy doing that.
It would probably just be better to yank the installer and tell people
to just grab things on git and get the binaries from your file server if needed.

i just tested it out because he said it wasnt working.
then i see it's an old bug and the release is still there with that issue.
That's one of the reasons people badmouthed synchronet over the years. People
had one problem and then decided to go to mystic.
Like I said, it's yours and you can do what you want with it. I just couldn't
believe you were blind to what was going on. This XP thing is just a little
stupid issue, but there's been bigger ones in the past that you handled the same
way.
What if you bought a new car and it cuts out at every red light? They said the
car was fine when you bought it.
Then you find out that everyone's been having the same problem for years. You
go on the website and see that there's a part you need to replace. It's not
that hard but you still think the car manufacturer is a dipshit for putting it
out there like that. I know I would.
Granted, your stuff is free and this is a hobby. but still, it just seems weird
you leave something busted as a release on your website for a year, and in the
past there's been releases on the website for YEARS with issues.
I don't know if you don't care, or it does not compute or what.
