Re: [ANN] GemiNaut 0.8.11 is released


Hi Kevin

Thanks for the feedback. I have a couple of thoughts inline.

> This release made me uninstall the previous version (I skipped on at 
least one prior release, but I'm now not sure what version I was on), and 
then required me to install a new version of the .NET runtime from 
Microsoft. I now get the following error when accessing any site:

It sounds like the .NET TLS authentication failed for some reason. Strange 
that you get it on every site, which suggests its not to do with any particular server.

> I wonder if this relates to running the bundled exe that does the Gemini 
fetch? I'm running Windows 7. 

Since 0.8.9, GemiNaut uses as native .NET call to fetch the content, so if 
you skipped a version, you might have just come across this. I think it 
might be related to your being on Windows 7. I tried it on a couple of 
Win10 machines and it was fine. I don't have any Win7 machines here.

Also 0.8.9 was upgraded to use a more recent .NET runtime, so again, this 
might have just come up now if you skipped the previous version.

> There was no prompt that a restart was needed, and I haven't found 
anything interesting in the Windows event log (has anyone ever?!).

Not very often! Thanks for checking.

I'll try to do a new build with some more debugging information in it and 
send you a link off-list. Maybe we can get it working on Windows 7. For 
now I created an issue on the repo here:

thanks
