Honestly, I'm being dragged off for unplanned Christmas shopping taxiing. We'll get there...
Btw, will the windows installer be signed?
Yes (sorry, just about to sit down to a family meal). I'm trying to work out the certificate story. The hurdle is the notorization process - I'll need to have a lawyer attest and affirm I am who I say I am, and different lawyers and certificate authorities require different combinations of stuff for this to be complete.
When that goes green I'll make the installers
Yes. That's a Christmas themed changelog. :-)
No. I've not been at the sherry. :-)
Can someone give that a test run please..?
Here's the Windows installer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2vu2wu9m5udr5gu/Mu-Editor-Win64-1.1.0b7.msi?dl=0
Please can someone try that too, and report back. Thank you..!
Draft GitHub release coming in a moment.
I'm AFK for a few hours, but have the blog post and codewith.mu updates all ready to go once folks @/all have checked the installers and given me a :+1:
@carlosperate @tjguk:matrix.org @tmontes @xbecas :point_up:
I've left it starting up, but I've got a couple of comments...
Having selected the [x] Start Mu checkbox, I had to wait something like 10 seconds before anything appeared. I'd actually started running Task Manager to see if it was running before the splash screen popped up.
The splash screen is too big for my 14" laptop screen. I took a screen snip which I'll drop here in a mo. But the long and short is that, while you can see the animated snake, you can't see any of the info log underneath!
I have things to get ready this evening for tomorrow evening, but I will try to find some time to look at that, to see if there's a ready answer for the delay/splash size
It does start up, but the editor and the initial mode-selection are also slightly off-screen
I had to grab the frame and move it into view before I could [Ok] the mode selection
@tjguk:matrix.org great minds think alike.... I've just done exactly the same and sbmitted: mu-editor/mu#1939

Although I don't see the off-screen problem.
I've exercised both OSX and Windows versions of beta-7 and fairly confident "they work" to a releasable state.
Unless I hear anything different by midday uk-time tomorrow, I'll push the release and announce.
As always, many many thanks for everyone's efforts with this release.
The screen position might be to do with windows default position, but Iād be surprised as this was a brand new user for testing
And there another "blank" moment post first launch and right before actually seeing Mu. Other than that, all looking good - it even opened in dark mode and loaded the last working file, similar to the last run!
Hi folks.... all done. Here's the blog announcing the release. https://madewith.mu/mu/users/2021/12/22/beta7.html I have to say the art work took an inordinate amount of time (well, maybe 2 minutes). :-P Season's greetings to you all, and many many thanks for all the amazing work contributed to Mu. I'll be AFK for perhaps the next week or so but I'm really looking forward to things coming together in 2022 for more Mu-related progress, updates and improvements.
Just read the changelog from Merry Old "Saint" Nicholas š
Although I actually created the trivial PR #1921, we should credit https://github.com/hmmkay who actually analysed the problem and proposed the solution.
Ok, got a few hours spare to try to pick up some of the install/venv-related issues. @carlosperate do you have a single issue which is tracking the multiple-startup issues? (ie where we're trying to create the
mu_code folder or the venv itself twice at the same time?
And the single instance application discussion is in mu-editor/mu#276
If the sharedmemory method works it sounds a lot better than the lock file
