I’ve moved to Chandler 1.0-rc1. Not a lot different, still looking good. My linux upgrade on gentoo AMD64 (using the Ubuntu “compressed image” build on the linux download page, works great) went without a hitch. On Windows, the 0.7.7 release barfed when it ran low on memory. I started getting the dreaded “Another Chandler is already running” message on startup. Upgrading to 1.0-rc1 didn’t help. The error message is bogus, here‘s my report explaining the problem. I deleted my repository in the [Documents and Settings\(user)\Application Data\Open Source Applications Foundation\Chandler] folder, recreated it by restoring from the most recent backup, and resynced to the Hub.
If you need to get through a proxy, you still need the http workaround. Here it is in a nutshell.
A proxy can be specified in File->Configure HTTP Proxy. After discussion on irc with gbaillie and JeffreyH, I found that chandler uses https by default when syncing with a “Chandler Hub Sharing” account. This does not appear to use the proxy. The workaround is to set up a “Chandler Server Sharing” account, and specify the hub settings manually, using http instead of https:
Server: [ hub.chandlerproject.org ]
Path: [ / ]
Port: [ 80 ]
[ ] Use SSL (unchecked)
If you use a valid hub account username/password and press the Test… button, it should succeed.
Now get yourself organized!
