We've been doing a bit of bookkeeping on outstanding issues while finalizing some of the finer points of Windower v5. There are a few changes that are currently effective on the development version:
LuaCore 2.2.0.x
Resolves the issue where clients could no longer communicate through IPC after terminating a process or an extended period of time.
Indirectly fixes a potential crash in the original IPC framework on exit to POL
Guildwork 1.4.4.x
FFXIDB
With that out of the way: we're looking for feedback on IPC. It's designed to allow up to 100 simultaneous XI processes to communicate -- feel free to give that a try and let us know. We've done a reasonable amount of testing with repeated failures on our own time, but if you have issues, please explain as clearly as possible here, on our issue tracker, or on Discord.
In closing, there is a known issue with the game client where if you type /sea Status, you will crash FFXI. Feel free to get your friends to try.

Does xidb do reisenjima henge yet? Would be interesting to get some real drop data on Caturae, and to my understanding it should be a pretty simple change.

I added the zone, items, and the mobs, so drops should appear if they follow any standard drop convention (which they should), but I have not personally verified that it works.
Edit: We have trash mob data that wasn't there when I made this post originally. So that points to good news..

Is the LuaCore update limited to the dev version only so far? Using non-dev version I haven't seen any improvements to send functionality

4 Scales in one kill, looks like it's working well.

A bit off topic maybe, but does this mean that guildwork is actively being updated/worked on? Do the premium benefits still work? Or is this just someone updating the plugin itself?

I can attest that the shouts work, but the remote chat app does not. Bazaar notifications and alerts work also. I mainly subscribe for global shouts.

Ok thnx, I was wondering if you could even still subscribe to the premium service

Are drops doubling everywhere? I didn’t change anything related to kill handling, but I’ll look into it.

Changed to dev version and the IPC changes are phenomenal so far. No issues at all with send or stna working. A big issue I'm having with the dev version is timers and some other plugins keep reverting to default settings whenever i run windower launcher. I've tried switching the file to read only after changing it to the way I prefer but it doesn't seem to be a permanent fix.

Is there any information when the IPC changes will be rolled out to non-dev version?

Quote: Guildwork 1.4.4.x
The Guildwork plugin now sends data about your current mission progress to the guildwork client.
Does this work on Windower4, Windower4 Development or Windoer5? Or is it just something in the works right now but not working yet?
We've been doing a bit of bookkeeping on outstanding issues while finalizing some of the finer points of Windower v5. There are a few changes that are currently effective on the development version:
LuaCore 2.2.0.x
