XYplorer Beta Club

12.40.0100 is in Incoming. (Sorry I cannot rename it - if only Don would release an OS X version of XY!)
Unfortunately, I am also missing 12.50.0033.

Thanks man!!
Just renamed, and now updating the first post.

First post updated

A huge thank you to SkyFrontier who uploaded literally a ton of XY builds!

They are currently stored in Incoming. The Dump is being updated at the moment (50% as of now), and this will require some days.
Once everything has been validated and updated thoroughly, the new builds will be moved up in the Archive.

Updated dump and made the list of missing builds available.

The Archive is now over 2.5 GB, which might be too much for people syncing locally with the dropbox client. SkyFrontier suggested creating subfolders named xx.yy, which can be synched to separately via the advanced settings of the client.
Any different ideas?

Updated first post. Whoever can provide 12.90.0018 is welcome!

Lol! We're a bit unlucky. I went to sleep during that time and I asked grindax earlier today but grindax accidentally overwrote 18 with 19. So let's hope!

Yeah, I know! I was at the gym, and should have imagined that Don never rests until he manages to fix the nastiest bugs!

I just wrote a little program in PureBasic and it currently still being tested. All it simply does is get the HTTP header of XYplorer Beta zip and then gets the ETag information and writes it to a file (on first run). On subsequent run, it would compare the ETag from the file and the one from the server, if they match, it means it's the same file and it will just quit. If they don't, it will then download the new file and name it in the format (XYplorer $Date $Time.zip -> XYplorer 09-23-2013 02.15.15.zip) and then write the new ETag into the text file replacing the old one. The program also writes a log file to let you know if it encounters any problem including server errors like 404 and 403 (it simply just write the server error that is returned into the log file) and of course, it will also record if the file is successfully downloaded with file name and date. You can then use your XY script to rename the files accordingly. The program does not have any timer to repeat itself whatsoever. It's meant to be used with Windows Task so you can control how many minutes, hours, or days to repeat.

Hopefully, this should help you not miss any version if you set it like every 5 or 10 minutes. Since it does not actually download the file until the ETag changes, you won't waste valuable bandwidth either.

Ok! Here is the final version. Got all the essential things down and I think it should work fine now. I have added the ability to check that Windows Tasks is working as expected. To turn on Windows Tasks checker, simply made another text file named XYplorerDL_Debug.txt in the same directory as XYplorerDL.exe. Here is an example log XYplorerDL_Log.txt without the check: Here with the Windows Tasks Checker on: It should be pretty clear that I have Windows Tasks run XYplorerDL.exe very 10 minutes. Also the log showed that I had my internet disabled at one point (irrelevant of the whether Windows Tasks Checker is on or not).

Great job, thanks! Two suggestions tho:

1. (minor) I'd use ISO 8601 for the date format, i.e. 2. (major and important) this script works only for 12.90! To make it work in the future too you should first poll the current version number fromwhich returns (as of now)then keep only the first five characters and finally create the download link as

1. Ok! I will change that tomorrow when I get the chance.
2. I COMPLETELY forgot about that hahaha. I will fix that. That sure was embarrassing. I was sooo into the "Automatically Download" part that I forgot the morphing version name in the file name.

EDIT: WOAH! LOL! Multiples of 3! We need someone with 666!

Ok! Here it is! Got a bit of free time so I ended up changing it. Yeah!

Don't Download. This build is broken. Keeping it here for archival purposes.
