uhh
uhh
nullsoft people

is it the final or not? pleeeeeeease tell us

[MusicWorld]

[Wish]

It's was final, but the latest compiled final is dated 14th, so.....

I guess you all have to wait for the real final to be uploaded when the website is updated. Heh.

If yours says Dec 12 in the about screen it is out of date. You want Dec 14.

There were several "5.0" releases to the Beta Testers. 14th is the last.

[james]

argh

[Ikarus7]

so .... erm is there no difference to rc666 ?

[shuzz]

None will be final until is published in winamp.com, or there will be no real proof of it's geniality......
[It’s the logical answer isn't it?]

[Ikarus7]

damn i hate such fake stuff
o_O

Of course, Its called "Winamp 5.0" not "Winamp 5.0rc666"

[DJ Egg]

yup, it's an older version of 5.0F from Dec 12th
There's been 2 or 3 updates since then

Doh!


Steve & co know about it,
so all being well, we'll get the latest build from earlier today up very soon



My theory:

That file has been sat on the nullsoft server for a couple of days,
clubic.com used the old trick of checking the nullsoft server, with all potential filenames, and stumbled across a working winamp50_full.exe link.
so they put up that site, and now other sites have followed suit.

But they goofed, because the REAL final 5.0 Final will be uploaded around the time of new winamp.com site launch.

[EAK125]

According to some who just downloaded from that link - It already has been updated to the Dec 14 build on the server! I am getting it now so I don't know if it's true or not.

(EAK)

Winamp 5.0 FINAL (12/15/03)
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail...fid=1066336873

[schro]

Well i was gonna post this in the thread I originally posted the find in, but I might as well do it here to be funny.

Not to be a Slashdot troll, but I got first post on WA5 final! W00t!

Dont hurt me!

[mark e]

* Fancy new modern skin:
- Many built-in colorthemes

Many of them are very ugly. There are some very good themes in that sticky thread (default modern skin themes) in Modern skins discussion, what should be added to final
---
BTW. I like that new DSP plugin! Good work, keep going!

[MasterViVi]

Meh, I'm waiting for the stie to launch

[shuzz]

Just dowloaded a build dated 12/15/2003 less than 2 hours ago......

Does this means i want WA5 now?????

[spacegate]

Sorry...
Bad one

[Prorok]

heyheyhey! has the icon been cleaned up a bit or is it me?

Is the playlist loading up maximised after winamp has been closed when minimised supposed to be fixed? Cause I'm still having that problem with the final.

[Dextro]

I'm having that problem to, I'm going to do a fresh install to see if it stays.

[VooDoo`]

I download from betanews, but its still from 12/14/03

edit: ah, sorry, I haven't understand...

[280Z28]

Mine says Dec 14. All the ones linked say that. What's up with the Dec 15 build date?

[DJ Egg]

Yeah, it was compiled on the 14th and uploaded to the server on the 15th,
or something like that.

Just go with the flow

It says Dec 14, but the NSIS complie was 15th

[squall14716]

12/14 is the last build right now.

EDIT: Damn, they got to it before me.

[EAK125]

As far as i know the 14th is the latest build - someone said 15th but i think that was a typo.

[edit] either u guys are inansanely fast typers or I'm just that slow...

(EAK)
