Hi there, we finally released the 0.4.x branch as stable.
Major changes: -------------- net6: Encryption support through GNUTLS, use of net6 with Unix domain sockets, keep-alives to detect dropped clients and listen on IPv6 if possible. obby: Text handling through chunks, document storage reduced to one copy in memory, document suffixes on name collisions, drop of GMP dependency, basic IPv6 support (needs to be enabled explicitly) and new translations: Catalan and Spanish. gobby: Usability enhancements: Chat window closeable, font types and sizes could be set in preferences, documents switchable using Ctrl-Alt-Page-Down and Ctrl-Alt-Page-Up, host and join dialogs are respawned on failure, application highlighting on new chat messages, filenames could be passed on the command-line to be opened in the current or a new session, session join possible through command-line option and user-modified colour palettes are now preserved. sobby: XML-based configuration files are now supported, which could be written based on the options passed on the command-line and a new command system was added, which currently supports only `/remove'. How to get it: -------------- Debian Etch: Current packages are available in Debian unstable. Debian Sarge: Backports for sobby and the libraries are available with the following apt-get source: `deb http://pkern.debian.net/debian sarge obby' There are currently no plans to backport Gobby, as this would involve an extensive backport of dependencies. Ubuntu Dapper: Backports are available with the following apt-get source: `deb http://pkern.debian.net/debian dapper obby'[1] Gentoo: Current ebuilds are available in Gentoo/unstable. To use them add `net-libs/net6 ~x86', `net-libs/obby ~x86' and `app-editors/gobby ~x86' as distinct lines to `/etc/portage/package.keywords' (and replace x86 to state your architecture, if yours differs). MacPorts: Updated portfiles are available in the official tree.
