  • Why?

    From Oli@21:1/151 to All on Sat Apr 4 08:48:14 2020
    I really don't understand why we need to run a network wide test (upgrade all hubs to the broken version) to confirm a bug that is already known. It's a bit frustrating to be honest. And now I'm writing some super offensive stuff that gets trunctated and

    All the test messages I received from 1/101 looked fine, but were wrapped (<80 chars). No idea if the editor saved them pre-wrapped or if it was done by Mystic on export.

    I guess the idea is to get everyone on the same page in understanding
    the problem, though testing the 256 char limit for a line is kind of
    pointless from mystic given that it seems to wrap or truncate depending
    on the editor or mutil. Still, at least they now know that mystic is
    still broken in that regard.

    I'm guessing from the recent upgrades things are still moving forward,
    though given recent events I'm not really holding my breath for a fix.

    I guess the best fix for now is to press enter before you reach 80 chars
    of text. While it may be frustrating, given that this is primarily a
    mystic run network (which we knew when we joined) I guess we have to
    make do.

    Hello Oli,

    Your message got truncated here so..

    I don't know what g00r00's plans are as far as updates go so I suspect the hubs


































































































































































    will need to figure out how to proceed as far as the version they run.

    All the test messages I received from 1/101 looked fine, but were
    wrapped (<80 chars). No idea if the editor saved them pre-wrapped or
    if it was done by Mystic on export.

    This is the same as always. I believe saved messages are wrapped at <80 characters. No change there, not yet anyway.

    Ttyl :-),

    I'm starting to like it. Hidden messages only for the >256 byte underground.
