by blueboy - Aug 21st 2002 02:28:25

Does jMSN support non english charsets? I use jMSN in spanish and catalan but i can't see the non-english characters that the other person types.

BTW, great job with the program!

[»] Where do you want to go tomorrow?
by JALH - Feb 2nd 2002 08:13:23

So, I've just released 0.5.7 which has just about everything I can think of. It might not be the most stable of releases, but the next release (0.6.0 prolly) will fix that.

I've now almost run out of ideas of more features to add, so if you want to reply to this, speak to me on msn or email me with any new suggestions of stuff that could be added, all ideas will be considered. (Voice convo would be nice, but, I fear it will be a bit tricky =)

    wow...you've done some great work here...and such nicely formatted /annotated code!

    its already very usable, and Anything you add from here on will just be a bonus!

    some more BitchXy features that would be nice would be things like /alias that would allow you to group commands together, or save a long string for use ..eg:

    /alias foobar { /msg $1 hello how are you $2 }

    would allow you to use /foobar John Today.

    also the ability to add certain users to a "minimal functionality" blacklist, for those idiots that like to add control codes or have 2000 character screenames :)

    Anything that saves me having to start an x session like this is very welcome :)

    Good work :)

      Yeah, the /alias thing would be quite tricky, it would more likly be done in perl. As for people with long screenames, you can truncuate the sceenames to X chars at max in the config file, I use 30 chars, but depending on your screen estate, you may want more or less.

    a new setting in .jMSN.conf that would
    allow you to put it in a non-quiet mode
    would be cool, so you got a ^G on new
    message and stuff.

    tab nick-completion would be cool as well.....and the alias thing
    would rock :)

[»] Great work!
by TormentoR - Jan 24th 2002 17:48:27

It's working perfectly!!!
Much better than lmme - Linux MSN Messenger Engine

But indeed a filesend could come in handy!

Keep up the great work!

    Working on that, will be in 0.5.6 or 0.5.7. You can recieve files, but the remote client gets an error, after you have got the whole file. I can't quite figure out why, oh well :-)

    Thanks, development on 0.5.6 is well under way, it gets rid of those silly 'User is typing' messages and replaces them with a nice little status bar at the top... For a preview, see pkl.net/~mark/jMSN-0.5.6.tgz :-) (Plz report bugs :)
