LumiChats 2.1.13

Signing in appeared to work, and then didn't. If you already had a
lumichats.com account, installing the app and clicking Sign in took you to the
browser, signed you in and showed "You're in!" — while the app carried on
waiting as though nothing had happened. Nothing failed anywhere you could see
it.

Sign-in works by having the browser hand your session back to a small listener
the app opens on your own machine. Chrome will not let a public website reach
an address inside your machine without asking permission first, and that
request has to be answered in a specific way. It was not being answered, so
Chrome declined to send the session — and because of how the hand-back is made,
the browser could not see that it had been dropped. Both ends believed the
other one had it.

The app now answers that request, and sign-in completes.

Also in this release: the model behind Lumi Comet was withdrawn by its
provider, and has been replaced by its successor in the same family. Same
context window, same speed; nothing to change on your side.


Installing. This build is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen warns on first run — choose More info, then Run anyway. The warning is about who vouched for the file, not what it does. Check it against SHA256SUMS.txt below if you would rather verify.

Existing installations offer this update themselves; there is no need to download it by hand.
