KipeeCraft pre 1.2 is here!

It's been about 2 years again, since the last release of KipeeCraft. The project is currently on hold, but still alive. The current version is a preview of a possible upcoming 1.2 version. The main reason for this release is a false positive detection of KipeeCraft as a generic banking trojan. The folks at www.virustotal.com weren't certain, but about a third of the scanners claimed KipeeCraft to be *some* sort of generic trojan aswell.

I was able to track this issue down with the help of many testers across atys and finally found an optimization library to be the cause. It is not needed to compile KipeeCraft, but it managed to make Evolver and Jeweler faster by about 20%. Due to the false positives I had to remove it again.

While these two tools are slower now, it is important to me to have an Application people can trust. I also updated the tool "CDS Edit" which can be found in the \DB directory of KipeeCraft and removed this library from the code. I checked the new versions on www.virustotal.com and they passed all scans.

Update: I had to completely remove the database editing tool, it kept triggering false positives with anti virus and I have not a clue why... all future releases will be without this tool. It is not needed to run KipeeCraft though.

What else is new?

KipeeCraft has a homepage again. Molly was kind enough to host it on her domain, the new url is mollylovescake.de/kipeecraft, please update your bookmarks and spread the word. To migrate your old version to pre 1.2 just copy your kc.ini file and your Recipe directory over to the new one (and your Databases, if you made any changes to it). Please refer to the Changelog for a complete list of changes since the last release.

Where can I get it?

You can download the latest version at the official homepage at mollylovescake.de/kipeecraft or use the official mirror at box.com. KipeeCraft is distributed as zip, 7zip archive and as self extracting archive.

Does it run on Windows 10?

Yes it does!

Does it run on Linux / Mac OS?

KipeeCraft is a native Win 32 Application, it needs the help of another tool called "wine" from the Wine Project. Once you have set it up, KipeeCraft runs really nice on those systems aswell. See the homepage at mollylovescake.de/kipeecraft for more details.

Update: See this post http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=post/view/167669 for a premade winebottler bundle for mac from the user Fateciy.
