I demand updates!

[LordSlon]

If Alex313031 doesn't post an update within the next week, I'm going to eat spicy wings and sentence my anus to torment! The time has begun!

[Alex313031]

@LordSlon The code is all ready, after ALOT of work. The thing that is halting releases now is that we are getting crashes on Windows and MacOS with official, non-debug builds. Debug builds work. But they are way too huge (filesize and memory footprint) and slow to ever ship in a public build.

So until I fix those, releases are halted. I might make a Linux release, since that is the one platform that is working perfectly (and it's always the platform I have the least issues on and easiest to debug, just another reason I like Linux. I like Windows too, don't get me wrong, but I digress.)

But like, the majority of my users are on Windows, so... I'm trying my best I promise. I also have a new job (ironically, the job is working on another browser for a company). Trying to code for Thorium, do my job, have relax time, and then now at the same time juggle trying to fix these Windows/MacOS builds as soon as possible while making sure not to slack on any of it (especially the job LOL). Is just alot for one man.

That is probably one of the few genuinely valid complaints about Thorium: I am one man. And It means sometimes stuff isn't timely.

thx for answer take care

[Alex313031]

@LordSlon @donravn Bloody hell mate, it wasn't in the build configuration or Thorium 2024 UI patch at all!

I am still getting crashes on Windows official builds with the baseline //src source code.

That's annoying. @midzer This means I will probably have to do my folder by folder debugging method to fix it because of that.

To the users who come across this, unfortunately the debugging method mentioned above IS very time consuming. I can't make any guarantees, but it has been long enough, so I will give it my all the get the releases out before the end of next week.

Alex love your work, I use Thorium since last year because of Chrome going completely downhill especially with the theme and MV2, but I think you should get someone to help you for having a more efficient time on the releases, you're incredible for doing all of this while being one man but sometimes help is very well appreciated I think.

Keep care and good job for everything you did and you're doing for us.

Out of curiosity, how are you building Thorium @Alex313031 ? MSVC, GCC, CLANG-MINGW64 or CLANG-CL?

[piettrangelo]

@Alex313031 Thanks so much for getting in touch and happy new year!

1. I think everyone understands that there are some difficulties both with debugging and with the fact that you are only one, I would like a little more transparency in this matter: perhaps there is an opportunity to put the current status in one or two sentences on the main page for the future? Well to be able to understand, in general, you have a load or some personal business.

2. Since there is an opportunity to ask you, how hard is it when working on one version not the most recent build, to transfer everything to the current one? For example, now 132 chrome is coming, you have -2 versions, since the process of working on the last update took so long, does it not make sense to do it all already on the last available build? (The logic of the average person and the person who likes to sit with everything updated).

Anyway, good luck! I follow your project with much interest!

Are spicy wings delicious?😋

[fithisux]

@zelda0079 Not if you have hemorrhoids.

[Alex313031]

@fithisux Clang always now.

Yeah, updating to higher revisions increases the complexity. Not necessarily twofold, but maybe 1.5 fold

[rafael-puc]

This is the last place on earth I'd expect reading about hemorrhoids... Well, let’s hope @Alex313031's new release lands just as fire as the fella @LordSlon spicy dump. 🔥

I wish not to include new ugly and bloated chromium UI.
