Oolite's Expansions Manager still fails to connect to the new site! Is it really that difficult to fix it?
Are you saying that executing the following command in a terminal window *doesn't* fix the Expansion Manager for you?

Code: Select all

defaults write org.aegidian.oolite oxz-index-url http://addons.oolite.space/api/1.0/overview

BGS/BackGroundSet is very confusing with no indication that they are the same thing.
Happy to remove the old versions if that's what's needed.

Look, I'm happy to clean this up. We just need to make a call on whether we want to keep these older versions available via the manager. We can keep them available on the wiki and just remove them from the DM. Let me know.
Is it not the case that what is needed is for the older versions to have their manifest.plist edited to include the maximum/latest Oolite version they're intended for?
Twenty second video, made me smile:

It very definitely did, thank you. But I’m thinking more of all those potential prospective Ooliters who will download something which is half kaput. And for the AppleMac, it is a mess…

So that's an Intel, but at that speed I'm guessing not very recent. What version of MacOS is it running?
MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 on a 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

27inch late 2013

The operation couldn’t be completed.

Couldn’t open OoliteStarter-0.1.32-MacOS-x86_64.pkg

IIRC, I'd build 1.32 on Ventura, using a newer JDK, so a fail on Catalina is not surprising. For the time being, I'll build any new releases for Mac Intel with Catalina.

For me, OoliteStarter-0.1.33-hoopsnake.6-MacOS-x86_64.pkg is working on Intel Catalina.

Launching from a save-game, and MQTT will not work, but it'll still serve as an OXP manager. Perhaps we ought to edit the release notes to reflect those facts.
