The next version of GNP is ready for testing. The download contains a debug build of GNP with debug symbol files (which makes the download larger) so that any error output with contain more information to help fix any issues. Once I feel it's stable, I'll put together a final release build. I've been running this version on my system for the last two weeks and it's very stable here.

Changes in 3.0 b1 include:

  • New preferences dialog (again) based on the Windows Control Panel UX. I've made a lot of effort to use the same system resources, layout and measurements that the actual control panel does in order to give this a native appearance and feel.
  • Reorganized the jumplist commands and jumplist email display. Should make it more obvious what the default account is for.
  • Improved the logic for displaying emails and fixed the toast email display.
  • Improved locale (i18n) file layout.
  • Improved lots of internal mechanisms.
  • Fixed all of the issues that were reported (if it was possible) since the last version.

For a full list of specific changes, see the COMMIT-LOG file or https://github.com/shellscape/Gmail-Notifier-Plus/commits/master

Please note: since the locale file layout/format changed for this version, most of the old locales were left out of the beta build. I'm hoping to get them back into the app for the final version, but I only have access to so many folks that speak another language. If you speak another language fluently, please consider submitting a locale file. (I'd prefer it if folks used github and submitted it via a pull request, but I'm not picky on this one)

Please report any errors on the project on Github, along with error data. I won't triage issues on the forums here.

For my own sanity, I won't be replying to support requests or error reports on the forums here. But members should feel free to help out other members. Report issues here: https://github.com/s...ier-Plus/issues

Cheers

Yeah it sounds like exactly the problem.

And no, you shouldn't ever need to delete any files in AppData from previous versions. Im not sure how the original author did every release, but personally, I hate having to reconfigure each new version :)

For anyone following the thread; looks like this is an issue isolated to 64bit Windows users. I'm trying to track it down and working with a guy through github that's helping. If we cant come up with a solution I'll either be recompiling as a 32bit assembly or putting in a stop-gap for the issue at hand.

I presume this is the error you're talking about? (I'm on Win 7 64bit)

@PsYcHoKiLLa yes, thats the error that users will see. If you'd like to help troubleshoot it, please shoot over to the github issues.

@aznkid - slowly. its not an error that is well documented, as its probably not something that folks have run into very often. the solution is to target x86 (32 bit) processors only, but I'd rather not go that route unless i absolutely have to.

What do you mean by targeting 32-bit processors only? Have you decided to do this yet?

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
