Hi, Ayttm 0.6.0 is out. You can get the sources for the latest release here: http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/files.php
The binaries should be available in a while for respective distributions via their own repositories. What is ayttm? Find out here: http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/ Report bugs: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=77614&atid=550744 Request Features: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=77614&atid=550747 Submit patches: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=77614&atid=550746 Rant about what you want to have by the next release: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ayttm-users This is by far the biggest release in that last two years because of the sheer number of components that have been touched. Here's an overview of the things that have changed in this release: * MSN Protocol updated to MSNP15 * Yahoo protocol updated to YMSG16 * Fixes to jabber. We now have service discovery and GMail notifications if you want it. The option is in your account preferences * Spellcheck is now provided by aspell by default. Pspell is long dead and we have finally let go * Overhaul of the networking code. We now have a transparent connection layer which takes care of SSL, proxies, etc. for the protocols. What's more, it's multi-threaded, and hence lives life on the edge. The good thing is that the interface will no longer hang when you're looking up a host name or connecting to your proxy. * Improvements in support of character encodings other than UTF-8. Ayttm now tries to convert incoming data into the correct encoding than crashing or whining. Look up the "encodings" option in your ~/.ayttm/prefs if you want to tweak its behaviour * Ayttm now uses stock icons wherever possible. This has resulted in a fair decrease in binary size (do I see Barry Kauler smiling? ;) ) and also makes the interface a little prettier. * Various fixes to the status window and chat window UI * Removed deprecated AIM-TOC, ICQ-TOC and ICQ modules from the package. You can still get them out of CVS, but I'll be removing them from there too pretty soon. A full ChangeLog is available here: http://ayttm.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/ayttm/ayttm/ChangeLog?view=log&pathrev=AYTTM_0_6_0 There is a lot more coming up. If you have any ideas you want to share, do get in touch with us in any of the ways stated above. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
