New issue 151 by google-c...@pragmata.tk: released chmsee not compatible
with xulrunner-14
http://code.google.com/p/chmsee/issues/detail?id=151

Hi there,

I have reported this issue in the past. The released version of chmsee is
not compatible with the just released version of xulrunner. Could you fix
this?

I really appreciate your work. I'm not a programmer myself. I cannot code.
But wouldn't it be possible to remove the gecko-max-version requirement
from chmsee? Otherwise, new released xulrunner major versions will be
automatically incompatible with chmsee.

Many thanks for your help and your excellent work,

The last version v1.99.12 is already compatible with xulrunner-14. I've
tested it under Arch Linux with xulrunner-14.0.1. Could you paste the error
message you encountered?

Xulrunner document say MaxVersion in appliaction.ini is optional:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_Application_Packaging#The_.5BGecko.5D_section
But if omit it, the default value is 1.*

Thank you issue this again, I will take your advice to increase MaxVersion
bigger.

Thanks for your reply.

The error message is the following:

$ chmsee
Error: Platform version '14.0.1' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 9.0
maxVersion <= 13.*

But this is caused by the fact that Fedora is packaging an old version:
chmsee-1.99-0.15.9.git36b4702.

BTW. Where is version 1.99.12 available. Only in git?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

Yes, the new version is only located on github.

You can get with:

$ git clone git://github.com/jungleji/chmsee.git

or download the tagged version:

https://github.com/jungleji/chmsee/tags

If you don't want build chmsee, you can simply change the maxVersion in
exist chmsee application.ini.

Most of the time chmsee can load extracted old chm file, but I am not sure
it will be OK opening a fresh chm file on different xulrunner runtime
version.
