Thanks all for your opinions.. I gather from what I've read that you think a bugfix release would be needed and considering the amount of bugfixes we commited in the last few days (congrats to everyone involved :)), we can be sure that we will be doing it... About a new 0.98 version, I think some of you would like to see it continue and others think it shouldn't.. well, here's what I think now that I've read your answers and have been thinking about it... aMSN 0.x should I think continue to evolve alongside of amsn 2.. if you want to jump on the amsn2 band wagon, then you can, if you feel more at ease with tcl/tk and don't want to learn a new language or something, then you can continue maintaining 0.x branch. I also think that before aMSN 2 becomes as good, as stable and has as many features as amsn 0.x it will take a looong time.. and until that time comes we don't want to have no release, and be left behind while all other clients are evolving, so I think we should keep evolving too.. I just thought of the enlightenment project, a great window manager, very good, etc.. then they started E17 development, a full rewrite, they wanted it to be 'perfect' and be fancy and all that, and now, 8 years later, they are still far from that goal, although near.. but in the meantime, gnome and kde became huge.. redhat stopped using enlightenment as the default window manager because it didn't evolve as well as gnome/kde (actually the E16 development completely stopped for these 8 years even if the E17 development was *very* active). So, I don't want amsn2 to fall in the same mistake, we will have to keep maintaining both versions, maybe with two different teams, and that will allow us to evolve, and keep our current userbase.. otherwise we might release amsn 2 in 5 years and we have zero users since they all switched to other clients that finally implemented webcam/file transfers/etc.. + the new MSNP25 protocol features, while we're still trying to get it right... So that's my opinion... And on that subject.. I have great news to announce to you all.. I have just managed (and commited) to make MSNP15 work!!! You can try it out by doing : ::config::setKey protocol 15 in the console and then reconnect. It will connect with MSNP15, it will use the SSO and MBI crypto to authenticate, and it will all work.. only thing missing, we don't download our contact list yet.. but you can still chat (menu actions->send message->others->enter email) receive/send OIMs, etc... so have fun testing that! Tjikkun will try to get the address book (contacts list) working, and I'll probably work on that too during the next few days.. so maybe.. maybe.. soon we'll have a working MSNP15 implementation! :) This means basically... all the things we ever wanted :p + the audio chat feature can also be added soon..
