<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In spring 2012 the development of Miranda IM reached a deadlock.<br /> # The existing (up to the present) model of Miranda development proved to be totally unsustainable for the following reasons:<br /> #* It usually took over a year for changes in the core to be taken up by the plugin developers and to be finally brought to end users.<br /> #* Plugins&#039; source code was scattered about dozens of repositories, many plugins had no current source code available. Thus, code monitoring by the team was limited, if not to say impossible. As a result some plugins contained unusable, inefficient or buggy code, and no one could fix it.<br /> #* There were lots of compatibility issues between different versions of Miranda core or even between versions of some plugins. This was especially true for implementation of Unicode support which hadn&#039;t been finished in Miranda IM.<br /> # There was a conflict between {{Developer|George Hazan}} (ghazan) and {{Developer|Boris Krasnovskiy}} (borkra), the most active Miranda developers at the time. When Boris reverted a fix for his error because the commentary to commit contained the term &#039;&#039;borkred&#039;&#039; – which had been invented by one of the coders to denote Miranda parts broken by Boris – that was the last straw for George.</div>
