How do install orion version from github ?
I'am sorry, but i dont understand at all how to install the github version of Orion
There is only the git clone https://github.com/alamminsalo/orion cd orion mkdir build && cd build qmake ../ make && sudo make install
But ? where do i use thoses command ? ( yes i'am a big noob when it come to thoses things and so far i didnt found and "simple how to"
because here https://alamminsalo.github.io/orion/
Look like the Orion version is outdated since the twitch chat still not have the emotes, and and more "clear" chat ( considering the screens there is on the "code" page
Thanks !
It's a deep rabbit hole if you're not used to build software from source :) What platform are you on? I think just updating the installers would be easier for both
A new release is definitely in order, the amount of changes since 1.4 (feature-wise) are more than enough to warrant it, in my opinion.
Also, windows people don't have a good & easy way to get the new features, unless they have the build environment setup and know what they are doing.
I agree that a new version is indeed needed at least for windows and mac user ...as its really pain to build on those platforms... anyway as there has been so many changes since v1.4 maybe it would be good to release a Beta or RC version first to test if there are any new problems, and as there has been problems with some mac/win builds in the past it would be good to see if they have/can be fixed.
I'am on windows ^^ Sorry, needed to ask since you dont seem to update the installer that often :) And fine if its a pain for windows.
And thanks ;)
Alright. I'll draft a new win-release later tonight, and put it up as RC-release then
nevermind, found it, thanks for the 1.5.1.exe release !
edit bis : after a quick try, very cool update ! it use way less CPU, so ram, the chat is much more enjoyable to read, having the emote is very cool
very nice work !
@alamminsalo : this reminded me, have you checked out Qt Installer Framework? it has online installer/updater function and it works on all 3 platforms...would be at least useful for mac and windows users. Maybe there is another better solution for "self-updating" that can be used, I don't know what other opensource (Qt) project uses on windows and mac but this is at least Qt's own solution, maybe @rakslice knows as you are windows user.

Yes, I've checked it previously, but I think the simplest updater implementation would be to just compare tags with github and show a dialog that a newer version is available, with link to open in browser.
@alamminsalo : sure a just a simple update notification system is fine...better than nothing
