Changes: Bugs related to issues with endianness and file transfers have been fixed, along with a few critical build errors related to zlib. The tracker list is now filtered as it comes in rather than only by user request.


Changes: This release fixes endianness issues, build errors caused by missing either OpenSSL or zlib, and a configure.in issue.


Changes: A fix for a segfault that occured when a blank news catalog browser was closed, converting linebreaks from LF to CR before news posts and private messages are sent, fixes to exec to output to whatever chat it was invoked from, properly locking file browsers when they are being listed, freeing hldir in threaded news functions to fix memory leaks, HOPE support, cipher and compression support, a fix for a segfault after invoking the connect dialog with Ctrl-K, and a fix for the --disable-ipv6 autoconf option.


Changes: Delete, directory creation, and catalog creation functions were added to the news folder browser. A delete function and an option to browse news folders in the same browser were added to the news catalog browser. The news folder browser now shows the correct root path in its titlebar when in the root directory. The default size/startup positions of windows was fixed. The network code for sending two tasks simultaneously was fixed. News/file browsers are now refreshed when the contents are modified. An options window is now displayed if no gtkhxrc file exists.


Changes: Preliminary Win32 support was added. A "tracker connect" task is now displayed and cancelling it will kill the tracker threads. A reload button was added to the news catalog and folder browsers. The threaded news catalog browser has been rewritten from scratch and news posts now show the correct date. Alignment problems on SPARC systems were fixed. The icon path, etc. have been fixed in the gtkhx.spec file.

Recent commentsvery nice...
I went through many hotline clients today, ranging from working, proprietary, to seg fault on start. This client has been by far the best I have tried today and will be the client I will recommend to my fellow linux buddies... Great work!!!
strange bug
For some reason, the task bar will only list the first few items queued up for download. After that, even if gtkhx is downloading stuff it appears blank in the task bar and will usually freeze. This is in RH 7.2 with the stock 2.4 kernel (2.4.7) on a Dell Inspiron 8100. Other than that, really nice hotline clone!
Ay Caramba!
Gah! I made a huge mistake. I forgot to change the #include to #include "history.h" in some of the source. If you are using 0.6 and it does not compile, I advise you to get the CVS version until 0.6.1 comes out...#)($*
Readline
Grab latest CVS GtkHx -- It no longer needs readline, I took the history code from libreadline4.
Hmm....
Hmm...My workstation has readline 2.2.1 installed but I believe my debian system has the most recent version of readline installed. I think I can fix this though; I am only using the history code of readline so maybe I can bundle it with my package.
