LCDHost Alpha 35

Posted by on May 8, 2014

Please note that both Windows and Linux versions are now 64-bit. The auto-updater will not notify a 32-bit user about a 64-bit version, so changing from 32 to 64-bit versions will require you to manually download a copy.

The changes required to allow Qt 5.2.1 to be used required extensive refactoring, so keep a copy of LCDHost Alpha 34 in case this version breaks your layouts or crashes.

Whats new in LCDHost 0.0.35:

  • Added --disable-systray and --enable-systray to allow overriding
    the default platform setting (enabled on Windows/Mac, disabled on Linux)
  • Updated to Qt 5.2.1
  • Windows version is now 64-bit, compiled with VS2012
  • Linux version is again 64-bit, built on Debian 7.1
  • Removed dependency on OpenSSL
  • Double-clicking the system tray icon restores the main window
  • Fixed drive listing in LH_DriveStats
  • Fixed LH_Bar trying to open nonexistant image files
  • Fixed LH_LogicBox attempting to hide itself before initialized
  • Fixed warning about memory information not being present on startup
  • Fixed RSS text trying to render itself before initialized
  • LH_WeatherData() had a constructor that did not initialize all members
  • Serialize plugin loading to prevent Qt font engine data races on OS/X

Always back-up your layouts before updating. If weather info doesn’t show properly, change the location setting for the LH_Weather plugin.
