<p>Alright so, rchat 1.3 has finally been released. Hopefully it does not break any existing patches. If it does then.. well, they should be updated shortly.</p>
|
|
<p>So, what changed with update 1.3? Mostly fixing bugs but I did replace <code>~</code> with <code>$HOME</code> as it works better. But in doing so, I introduced a massive bug and it's likely the dumbest thing I've done so far.</p>
|
|
<p>Now, to make this easy and quick, I decided to use <code>sed</code> to replace all instances. Normally this would be fine but the problem is, I ran <code>sed -i "s|~/|$HOME/|g"</code> which was a problem because if you are new to the terminal, $HOME is a variable defined on every GNU/Linux system. This means <code>~/</code> was replaced with <code>/home/anon</code> because <code>/home/anon</code> is my $HOME directory/variable. This meant rchat was broken for everyone except the people who happen to have their user account named anon.</p>
|
|
<p>So of course, this release fixes this issue and nothing more.</p>

|
|
