I already tried to look at the file, but it seems to be binary.. no readable information as far as I could see

I'm excited about this one: Version 1.3.0 features integration with Daniel Crotty's Radiometrically Calibrated Color Images. We've been working on putting this together for awhile. Here's a screenshot of Daniel's images in MMB Panorama mode:



More here.

1.3.0 also features faster updates from Exploratorium and more. Midnight Mars Browser Home Page

Is there more information under "java.lang.NullPointerException"? If not please send me your ErrorLog.txt file from your MMB home directory (assuming you've updated to 1.3.0).

[mhoward]

Nico,

Is there an error before the NullPointerException in the update log window? It looks like the program is having problems downloading the Midnight Mars Browser homepage. One possible workaround is to go to the page (http://midnightmarsbrowser.blogspot.com/) in your web browser and save the page as filename homepage.htm in your directory {mmb home directory}/metadata/downloaded. But since this is potentially the second time this has come up, I'd like to figure out what's going on.

Thanks, no results yet though, I'm checking if there's nothing wrong in my configuration and let you know tommorrow. I'm guessing if it's only the second time you heard of it, it might be an issue on my side...

For anyone who's interested, there's a new development version here. If you want to be on the bleeding edge. I'll probably make this a release version in a few days.

[mhoward]

Version 1.3.1 is now up.

Michael, unfortunately I'm experiencing a problem (maybe the same from Nico) with all latest versions (including 1.3.1). This is the full content of update status window when I press "update now" button:

Dilo,

Version 1.3.2 should fix the problem. Please try it out.

Mike
