[TW5] Bob and BobEXE 1.7.1 Leftover Christmas Cookies

[Jed Carty]

This is mainly some bug fixes and back-end changes to make the OokWiki parts play nicely with BobEXE. So while the changes are significant they are not very visible.

Once again, there hasn't been as much testing as usual because an adorable kitten managed to fry my development computer and I have only had my laptop and a raspberry pi to test on.

The biggest change is that I am going to start putting information up on ookwiki.com soon. Also to support development development by helping me get a new development computer see the information on ookwiki.com.

The BobEXE version is available here: https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-BobEXE/releases

The plugin is available here: https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob

The changelog is incomplete this time because I keep changing things for OokWiki and forgetting to list them here.

!! Version 1.7.1 Leftover Christmas Cookies

* Clean up code to make the changes for using the external server work with normal Bob/BobEXE

* Cleanup how settings are updated

* Moved everything out of NodeWebsocketSetup.js, a few components were just unneeded and removed.

* A bug that crashed BobEXE on windows should be fixed.

New version is working for me now! (BobEXE on Windows) - thanks!

BTW - since I've started using the "persistent username" feature of BOB, I've noticed that it only accepts the first character, so you have to go back in and edit. Not a big deal, but thought it would probably be a simple fix. I've recorded it to make it easier to understand what I mean.

Every so often I give Bob a try again.

This time I'm trying to get the example script to work. Unfortunately, none of the settings I input under the "manual" tab seem to stick. So the "test" : "ls" setting disappears. This is just a snapshot to show that how it's been set up. Yes I followed up by clicking on "Update Settings".

Also, FWIW, there seems to be some brokenness down in the console logging section:

(Using Bob (executable) for Linux.)

Thanks!
